Hazelnut and Turkey-Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms
Hazelnuts add a bit of hearty crunch to this appetizer that puts a spin on that perennial cocktail party favorite -- the stuffed mushroom.
Ingredients
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium. Add sausage and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove stems from mushrooms, trim ends, and finely chop. Add chopped stems, hazelnuts, garlic, shallot, and rosemary to sausage; season with salt and pepper. Cook until vegetables are tender, 4 to 6 minutes; transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool.

Bake mushrooms until tops are browned and caps are tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Sprinkle with additional rosemary before serving.
Cook's Notes
Look for blanched (or skinless) hazelnuts at the supermarket. If you can‚'t find them, bake hazelnuts with the skin still on at 350 degrees until skins crack. Rub the nuts in a kitchen towel to remove the outer layer. You can make the mushrooms ahead through step 2; cover and refrigerate up to a day. Increase baking time by about 5 minutes.
