This is a family favorite anytime of the year.   The recipe originally came from Rachel Ray’s cookbook

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, one turn of the pan
24 large gourmet stuffing mushroom caps, stems removed and reserved brushed with
damp towel
Salt and pepper
Stuffing:
1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, half a turn of the pan
3/4 pound sweet bulk Italian sausage
4 cloves garlic, chopped
20 stems mushrooms, finely chopped
1 rib of celery and green, leafy top from the heart of the stalk, chopped
1/2 small onion, chopped
1/2 small red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 (10-ounce) box chopped frozen spinach, defrosted and squeezed dry
3 slices white bread, toasted and buttered, chopped into small dice
1/3 cup grated Parmigiano or Romano, 2 handfuls
Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add oil and mushroom caps and season
caps with salt and pepper. Saute caps 5 to 7 minutes, until they are lightly browned
and tender on edges. Turn caps up and let juices drain away from caps. Transfer caps
to a small nonstick baking sheet. Wipe out skillet and return to heat. Add a touch of
oil and sausage to the hot skillet. Brown and crumble sausage for 3 minutes. In a
food processor pulse and chop the garlic, add mushroom stems and pulse to chop the
mushroom stems. Add celery, onion and red bell pepper to the mushrooms and pulse
to chop. Remove mixture from the processor and saute veggies and mushrooms over
medium high heat another 3 to 5 minutes. Add dry, defrosted spinach and stir into
stuffing. Add chopped bread and cheese to the pan and toss stuffing until bread is
moist and stuffing is combined, 2 or 3 minutes. Fill caps with stuffing using a small
scoop or large spoon. Place caps in hot oven and reduce heat to 450 degrees F. Bake
6 to 8 minutes to crisp edges of stuffing and set stuffing in mushrooms. Transfer
stuffed mushrooms to a serving plate
