Ingredients
Instructions
- Wash mushrooms in cold water, remove stems and set aside.
- Chop onion, mushroom stems, and celery finely.
- Sauté chopped onion, mushroom stems, and celery in 1/4 cup butter for about 5 or 6 minutes.
- Add sage and cook for 1 minute.
- Incorporate boneless turkey, eggs, salt, and pepper into the mixture and cook thoroughly.
- Stuff the mushroom caps with the turkey mixture.
- Arrange stuffed mushrooms in a baking dish and pour 2 cups of Sauterne wine or chicken stock over them.
- Bake until mushrooms are tender and stuffing is cooked through, about 25-30 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding grated Parmesan cheese to the stuffing mixture. If you don't have Sauterne wine, chicken stock is a great substitute. To make this dish a bit lighter, you can use ground turkey or chicken instead of the boneless turkey. Be careful not to overcook the mushrooms; they should be tender but not mushy.
