FAQ
Can I use turkey sausage instead of Italian sausage?
Absolutely! Turkey sausage is a leaner option that works just as well.
Can I freeze these stuffed mushrooms?
Yes, freeze them uncooked on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake straight from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cook time.
