Stuffed Mushrooms

olive oil cooking spray
1 pound button mushrooms, about 24 large mushrooms
1 tsp olive oil
1/4 cup onion, chopped
1/4 cup sweet red pepper, chopped
10 oz chopped frozen spinach, thawed and drained
2 1/2 slice whole-wheat bread, chopped into bread crumbs
1 tsp Cajun seasoning
1/4 tsp ground turmeric

Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a jelly roll pan with cooking spray. Remove mushroom stems from caps and finely chop stems; reserve caps and set aside.

Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Sauté mushroom stems, onion, pepper and spinach until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and stir in remaining ingredients until well-combined.

Stuff each mushroom cap with 2 tablespoons of filling mixture. Place mushrooms on baking sheet. Bake, uncovered, 15 minutes; serve warm.

Yields 2 mushrooms per serving.

(Note: The mushrooms can be stuffed in advance, covered, refrigerated and then baked later in the day to save on last minute preparation time.)
