cream cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is a dairy-free alternative with a cheesy flavor.

bread crumbs

🥗Healthier: oat flour

💰Cheaper: crushed crackers

Oat flour is gluten-free and healthier.

ground turkey sausage

🥗Healthier: chicken sausage

💰Cheaper: pork sausage

Chicken sausage is leaner, while pork sausage is often less expensive.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large skillet, saute the sausage over medium-high heat until cooked through, breaking into small pieces with a fork.

Add the oregano, garlic, and red peppers continuing to cook for another minute.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the mixture to a large bowl.

Pour off and discard the fat.

Return the sausage mixture to the warm pan with the heat off and add the red pepper juice, Worcestershire sauce, cream cheese, parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper.

Stir until thoroughly combined and set aside to let the mixture cool slightly.

Coat a large baking dish with cooking spray and brush the inside of each mushroom with olive oil.

Fill each mushroom with approximately 1 tablespoon of the filling and arrange the mushrooms, filling side up, in the baking dish.

Bake uncovered until mushrooms are tender and the filling is brown on top, approximately 25 minutes.
