Goat Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms with Sausage
I’m always looking for good looking, healthy recipes to try out.
I get bored with the same old, hum drum recipes.
So, I found this recipe in All You Magazine and ripped it out to put with my grocery shopping list.
Then, for the next football game on TV, I knew it was the perfect time to use this recipe!
Nowadays, finding good sources of protein for my family is so important.
Needless to say, my husband, son, and I are always trying to limit our carbs and sugars while increasing our protein.
Hence, This recipe for Goat Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms with sausage totally fits the bill.
At 8 grams of protein per serving, this is a healthy, fill-you-up kind of appetizer.
I altered All You’s recipe a little bit to make prep time quicker and easier.
For example, instead of using ground turkey, I used the Jimmy Dean Fully Cooked Turkey Sausage Crumbles.
My hubby loves anything that involves sausage, so I knew he’d love this recipe.
Also, I chose to buy the already crumbled goat cheese instead of buying it whole and crumbling it myself.
The below picture is the turkey sausage mixture before transferring it into a bowl to cool.
This is the mixture after the turkey sausage mixture cooled and the remaining ingredients were added and mixed.
Ready to stuff the mushrooms!
And here is the final product!
Don’t they look absolutely divine?
My husband almost grabbed one before I could even finish taking pictures.
They were so good!
The perfect amount of each ingredient.
I truly believe using the Jimmy Dean Fully Cooked Turkey Sausage Crumbles instead of ground turkey made these stuffed mushrooms more tasty.
To save even more time chopping (and save some tears), you can buy the already chopped onions.
These goat cheese stuffed mushrooms would be perfect for your next football game gathering, wine tasting party, or potluck event.

These stuffed mushrooms were great! I couldn’t find the scrambled turkey sausage so I just used the precooked turkey links. Next time I’m going to throw the mushroom stems, onion, and sausage into the blender to save time. Also, I scooped the gills out of my caps so that they were easier to stuff.
Love your substitutions and time saving tips. So glad you loved them!
Yum, these look so good and you’re right, perfect for a party, especially with the holidays coming up. I will definitely try them–thanks!!
These reminded me of you Cheryl! Amazing appetizers are your specialty.
