Turkey & Sweet Potato Stuffed Portabella Mushrooms
Ingredients
1 lb. ground turkey
1/2 cup onions, diced
1/4 cup celery, diced
1/4 cup carrots, diced
1 Tbsp. garlic, minced
1 Tbsp. ginger, minced
1 Tbsp. parsley, chopped
1 Tbsp. sage, chopped
1/2 Tbsp. rosemary, chopped
1 sweet potato
4 slices provolone
4 portabella mushrooms
1/2 Tbsp. salt
1 Tbsp. olive oil
Directions
Wrap the sweet potato in aluminum foil with a teaspoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 30 minutes, or until very tender. Let cool to room temperature, remove foil, peel skin and fork mash. Reserve.
Sauté garlic, ginger, and mirepoix (onions, celery, and carrots) in the remaining oil on medium-high heat, add ground turkey and cook until vegetables are tender and turkey is cooked through. Fold in herbs and sweet potato mash, season with remaining salt. Reserve.
Remove the stem and gills from the portabellas and remove any dirt with a brush and or a towel. Lay bottom side up on a baking tray and top evenly with turkey mix and bake for 10–15 minutes in 375 degree oven. Top with provolone cheese and cook for another 2–3 minutes.
