Someone I knew had Italian Sausage over the weekend and it smelled and looked sooo good... so then the craving for Italian sausage started up (especially to think of having Italian sausage and jalapeno pizza... big NO NO) So I concocted this dish and OMG it was soooooo yummy!!
I found some lean italian sweet turkey sausage.
1. sautee sausage in a non stick pan w/ some oregano, basil&garlic, parsley, and pepper.
2. add a handful(small) of diced onions,handful(small) of sliced mushrooms, and a teaspoon full of crushed garlic.
3. add about 1/2 can of diced tomatoes w/ hot chiles. l
4. let that all simmer together to blend the flavors.
5. Gut out a portabella mushroom cap and fill w/ sausage mix.
6. spray a baking pan w/ pam, bake about 15 mins at 350.
7. Top it off by sprinkling a very small amount of LF mozz shreds and put back in til it melted.
WOW!
It was excellent!!
I don't know how it added up measurement wise... for the sausage, i pre weighed it at 8 oz prior to cooking, and we can have 7 oz cooked turkey. I made sure it was the Lean turkey sausage. So i hope i 'guesstimated' correctly w/ the sprinkles of lf mozz cheese (wasn't even 2 oz). The veggies were probably 1/3 c of onion and mush prior to cooking, and the portabella cap was average size. 1/2 can of the diced tomatoes was maybe 1/3 cup prior to cooking? It came out very very tasty..... w/ a little spice from the chiles in the tomatoes. Definitely will be making this on a regular basis!!
