Sausage, Barley, and Spinach Stuffed Mushrooms
Trying to come up with a crowd-pleasing appetizer for an upcoming event? Stuffed mushrooms can be the hit of any get-together — and this hearty version featuring turkey sausage, blue cheese and barley is no exception.

Ingredients
1/2 cup quick-cooking barley
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 links (8 ounces) hot or mild turkey Italian sausage*
3 cups packed baby spinach leaves
4 large portobello mushroom caps, stems removed
Olive oil cooking spray
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese

Directions
Yield: 4 servings
Serving size: 1 mushroom with 1/2 cup mixture per serving

1 – Preheat oven to 450°F. In medium saucepan combine barley and broth; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 12 to 14 minutes or until barley is tender and liquid is absorbed.

2 – Meanwhile, remove sausage from casings; cook in large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat until no longer pink, stirring frequently. Drain fat. Add spinach to skillet, turning until spinach wilts. Stir mixture into cooked barley.

3 – Remove and discard gills from undersides of mushroom caps. Place caps, rounded sides up, on foil-lined baking sheet coated with cooking spray; coat tops lightly with cooking spray. Bake 5 minutes or until hot. Turn caps over; spoon about 1/2 cup barley mixture evenly into caps and top with cheese. Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until stuffing is heated through and mushrooms are tender.

*You may substitute with turkey breakfast sausage links.

Note: Barley is a whole grain rich in both soluble and insoluble fiber. It also contains vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytochemicals. Experts recommend eating at least 3 servings of whole grains every day.
