Stuffed Mushrooms Shauns Way Recipes

STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a small bowl combine the stuffing, mozzarella cheese, and turkey. Stuff each mushroom cap with a tablespoon of stuffing. Arrange the stuffed mushrooms on a sheet tray or in a baking dish. Put in the oven and bake until the mushrooms are browned and the filling is toasted, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and arrange on a serving platter to serve.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9 by 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Remove the mushroom caps from the stems. Reserve the caps for another use. Roughly chop the stems and set aside.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the canola oil. Stir in the onions and celery and cook until softened slightly, about 2 minutes. Add the mushroom stems and herbs and continue to cook until the mushrooms are browned and the vegetables are slightly tender, about 5 minutes.
• Whisk together the eggs and chicken broth in a large bowl. Add the cubed bread and toss to coat all of the bread. Stir in the cooked onions and mushroom mixture and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to the baking dish and bake, covered loosely with foil, for 40 to 50 minutes. Remove the foil for the last 10 minutes of cooking time to brown the top. Remove from the oven and serve.
• Brine:
• In a large pot with a lid that is big enough to fit the turkey, add all but 2 cups apple cider and bring to a boil over medium heat. Add the salt, 3 sprigs of thyme, 3 sprigs rosemary and stir to dissolve the salt. Remove from the heat, add 5 cups of ice, 6 cups water and stir. Put the turkey in the pot with the brine and hold it down so that the cavity fills with the brine. If the turkey is not completely submerged in the brine, add another 2 to 3 cups of water to the pot until covered. Cover the pot with a lid and refrigerate overnight or up to 24 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Remove the turkey from the brine, rinse and pat dry. Arrange it, breast side up, in a roasting pan. Stuff the remaining thyme and the bunch of sage into the cavity and tuck the wings back underneath the bottom of the breast. Tie the legs together with a piece of butcher's twine.
• In a small bowl combine the canola oil, poultry seasoning and pepper. Brush the turkey liberally until completely coated. Put in the oven and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh registers 165 degrees F, about 2 1/2 to 3 hours. About 30 minutes before the turkey is done, liberally baste the bird with the cider glaze. Baste with the remaining glaze 2 more times at 10 minute intervals. Remove from the oven and let rest at least 15 minutes before carving. Transfer to a serving platter and serve.
• Glaze:
• In a small saucepan combine the reserved 2 cups of apple cider and 1/4 cup of brown sugar. Simmer until reduced to about 1/2 cup.

SAUSAGE-STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Pulse the bread cubes in a food processor to make coarse crumbs (you should have about 1/2 cup). Set aside.
• Remove and finely chop the mushroom stems (you should have about 1 cup); set aside. Wipe the mushroom caps clean with a damp paper towel. With a paring knife, cut a thin slice from the top of the mushroom caps so they'll sit flat when stuffed. Put the mushroom caps in a large bowl, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and toss to coat in the oil.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, crumbling with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 3 minutes. Add the onions, peppers, garlic and chopped mushroom stems and cook until the vegetables are tender, 6 to 7 minutes. Scrape into a bowl and let cool.
• Once the sausage mixture has cooled, stir in the breadcrumbs, mozzarella, 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan, the parsley, 1/4 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Mix well. Divide the stuffing among the mushroom caps. Arrange the stuffed caps in an oiled 9-by-13-inch baking dish and sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan. Bake until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
