Stuffed Bella Caps

Tonight's dinner - after an afternoon of shopping and a great haul of fresh produce and meats - turned out to be Stuffed Bella Caps.  


It started without a recipe and evolved into a tasty dinner that I will be repeating sometime in the future, much to my tummy's happiness.


The starring players...

Portabella Mushroom Caps

Ground Turkey

Diced Bell Peppers

Chopped Green Onions

Shredded Cheese

...add in a few shakes of black pepper, crushed red pepper flakes and 3 cloves of garlic.

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Cook the turkey in a pan until not-quite cooked.
• While turkey is cooking, take care of the mushrooms and prep veggies:
• Clean out mushroom caps, a spoon and paper towel are all you need to make quick work of this.
• Arrange mushroom caps on a lightly sprayed cookie sheet.  I line my baking stone with foil and eliminate any messy clean-up.
• Dice peppers and green onions.
• Drain liquid from pan.
• Return to pan with turkey to stove and add the seasoning.  
• Add in diced peppers and onions and cook until turkey is cooked through.
• Once the turkey mixture is done, spoon into mushroom caps and sprinkle with cheese.

• Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
• Enjoy a tasty and healthy meal!

Medifast followers: I made this recipe to serve 2 full Lean & Green meals.  The turkey was a little shy of a full serving of lean, the small amount of cheese made up the difference.  The mushroom caps equaled 2 greens and the peppers & onions made up the remaining green.

If you are not following a specific diet plan, go ahead and zest this up to your liking.  I'd recommend something like a simple tomato sauce with the turkey & vegetable stuffing.
