You'll never eat meatballs any other way again!
If you need a way to spice up your mushrooms, we have your back! Meatballs always go quick at dinner parties and barbecues. So why not serve them up with a fun, healthy recipe the whole family will enjoy? Fill up savory mushroom caps with yummy meatballs, and watch them disappear. Turkey is packed with lean protein, which makes it a low-calorie alternative to beef or pork. But the turkey isn’t the only healthy part of this meal. Not only are they rich and flavorful, but portobello mushrooms are also a good source of fiber, potassium, and B vitamins. You’ll even get some healthy fats, thanks to the olive oil. Plus, these beautiful turkey meatball stuffed portobello mushrooms are topped with marinara and mozzarella, making them as delicious as they are healthy.
Take them to a picnic or potluck for any occasion, during any season. You can even add a personal touch by making your own Homemade Marinara Sauce.
