PALEO
These light and savory ‘shrooms are perfect for lunch or dinner and only take about a half-hour to prep and cook. The recipe can be scaled up for more servings, but the ingredients, cookware and stove can affect the results.
- 2 tsp Coconut oil
- 6 large Portobello mushroom caps, cleaned, gills removed (gently scrape with a spoon)
- 1 small Onion, diced
- 1/2 lb Ground turkey
- 6-8 Grape tomatoes, sliced (roasted if preferred)
- Handful Baby spinach leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste (or Italian seasoning)
- Melt about 2 teaspoons coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place mushrooms into the skillet and let cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Set aside on a plate.
- In the same skillet, add onion and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes. Then add ground turkey to the pan and break into small pieces with a spatula or wooden spoon. Cook until done, then sprinkle salt and pepper and other seasonings, if using.
- Remove from heat and add baby spinach leaves, which should wilt quickly from the residual heat.
- Use a small spoon to scoop the turkey spinach filling into the caps of the mushrooms. Top with grape tomatoes and serve warm.
