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.

Tonight was the night to clean out a bunch of small serving leftovers from the fridge. 

I think tomorrow will be my Cauliflower Pizza de-flowering night!

Spaghetti Squash, Italian Ground Turkey, and Roasted Green Beans & Mushrooms

Tonight's Dinner...


Roasted Spaghetti Squash with Olive Oil & Garlic
Roasted Green Beans with Mushrooms & Balsamic
Jennie-O Ground Turkey with Italian Seasonings

I cut out the cheese to stay within my Lean & Green requirements.

The ground turkey was prepared with just a spray of the pan and 2 cloves of fresh minced garlic.

The spaghetti squash was roasted in the oven and then sauteed with 1 t. olive oil and 2 cloves of fresh minced garlic.

Friends, if you're doing a low-carb diet, Kalyn's blog is a place you must check out.  I love that you can search recipes by vegetable!  I saw a long list for cauliflower...
