iDirections: In a large pan, brown ground turkey and ground sausage with a splash of olive oil (medium heat) Add garlic clove, green onion, sweet onion, bell pepper and tomato. Prep large Portabella mushrooms- cut off top of mushroom from trunk. Use spoon to slightly hallow out bottom side of mushroom. (Creating a spot to put filling). Roughly chop interiors and throw into filling mixture to cook. Brush mushrooms tops with remaining olive oil and season with salt and pepper- then set in small oven dish and set aside. Once filling mixture is browned and veggies are soft- add cream cheese and stir until completely incorporated (mixture should be a creamy, and smell divine). Add parmesan cheese to mixture and continue to cook on low until filling is a creamy and cheesy incorporating all ingredients. Last add spinach into mixture, gently fold into mixture and turn off heat. Let cool slightly- ( about 5 minutes) and then spoon in mixture into mushroom tops. Top with a dash of parmesan. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. ENJOY! (Like with all of my FHW Recipes, substitutes and additions are totally recommended! Add your favorite veggies or what is in season, or what is around the house!) | Cooking with Nutrition- January 2017 |

Squeeze entire lime and tangerine juice over chicken. Add 1/2 can of coconut milk and ginger. Cover let cook for 50 minutes on medium low. Stirring every 10 minutes. Until chicken is fully cooked.
Once chicken is fully cooked- remove chicken from pot into clean, bowl. With two forks shred chicken thighs. Turn heat down to low. Add chopped mushrooms, chopped herbs and any other desired veggies that you want cooked al dente. Add shredded chicken to pot. Add agave syrup. Let cook for 5 minutes more. Stirring to full incorporate all ingredients.
Prepare lettuce wraps, wash and prepare as you would a taco shell or tortilla.
Prepare extra topping, cilantro- lime and avocado slices.
Fill lettuce wraps with tropical chicken. Squeeze fresh lime juice. Top with avocado slice and cilantro sprig. And enjoy!
This recipe is a great addition to your weekly meal list- take a day off of refined grains! (Tortillas, Breads and Pastas) Even though this would make a delicious sandwich or bahn mi- if you had a good piece of whole grain bread to put it on. Substitute for beef round for a tropical beef stew. Or pulled pork. Or instead of meat- use extra veggies and cook for 1/3 the amount of time.
This recipe can also totally be done in the slow cooker!
Happy Cooking and Eating!
Stay tuned for more health, delicious eats all month long!
