This is just a teaser for a more in depth recipe we hope to soon post. You can do these in a Dutch Oven or in your kitchen oven on a cookie sheet. While an individual #3 cast iron skillet, for each cap, provides even better presentation.
Here is the rough Recipe for two servings.
2 large Portobello Caps
Remove any stem
Pre browned Ground Turkey with fennel and other spices to mimic sausage.
We used ground turkey and our own spices. You could brown any store bought sausage. Or substitute with pepperoni, or other favorite meat/protein topping.
