  • 1 Portabello mushroom, stem chopped and set aside
  • 1 Roma tomato, peeled, seeded and mashed
  • 1 oz part skim mozzarella or parmesan, grated
  • 1 oz turkey pepperoni slices, minced
  • 1 tbsp each yellow & red bell pepper, chopped

  • 1 tsp garlic finely minced (jarred OK)
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp each onion powder, black pepper, salt

Preheat oven broiler to 500 F or Broil.

Mixed mashed tomato with Italian seasoning, garlic onion powder, pepper and salt, set aside. Broil mushrooms caps for 3-4 minutes under the broiler stem side down, then turn and grill the other side for 3 minutes. Remove from broiler and layer with tomato mixture, turkey pepperoni, mushroom stem, red bell pepper and top with mozzarella.

Place filled mushrooms back in the broiler for 1-2 minutes until cheese is hot and bubbly. Remove from broiler, sprinkle with minced basil and let rest 2 minutes before serving. Enjoy! Add a side salad for a complete lunch or dinner meal.
