    This Mushroom & Sausage Hash is sure to please anyone, whether you're looking for a hearty, tasty meal or a nutritious meal full of veggies

    Mushroom & Sausage Hash from Living Well Kitchen

    There are so many reasons why this Mushroom and Sausage Hash is wonderful, on top of how incredibly delicious it tastes...

    It packs a double punch of mushrooms to give you a nutritious and healthy meal. It's perfect for entertaining since it can be made in advance; it is also an inexpensive meal. It can be enjoyed for breakfast, and it's hearty enough for dinner. Oh and bonus: it's a one pot meal.

    I love adding veggies to dishes to help stretch the meal. Mushrooms and onions are my two favorites.

    Using the "blendability technique" helps bump up the nutritional value of the meal while also help keeping food costs under control. What's the blendability technique? you may ask...

    All you have to do is:
    1. Chop up your favorite mushroom variety to match the consistency of the ground meat in the recipe
    2. Cook and season mushrooms the same way you would meat
    3. Combine the cooked meat and mushrooms and use the mix to complete your recipe.

    It's a quite simple thing to do and it really does make your meal better: there's more vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, etc.; there's more substance to your meal so you get a bigger serving; and it can help control costs {veggies are usually much less expensive than meat}

    Mushroom & Sausage Hash from Living Well Kitchen

    I use a combination of spices like this homemade breakfast "sausage" I've made before to give the ground turkey a sausage flavor since most packaged sausage you find in the store is full of sodium and/or nitrates/nitrites. You could also use ground pork if you preferred a more authentic sausage.

    I really enjoy this dish because it reminds me of the hash that my grandmother, Nan, always makes us for breakfast. It's one of my favorite parts about spending time at her house. I made sausage instead of using shredded, leftover turkey, but the recipe is pretty similar.

    This will please everyone: people looking for a hearty, tasty breakfast + people looking for a healthy, nutritious meal to keep them full all morning.

    Nan typically serves her hash over grits but I don't always feel like it's necessary. Enjoy!

    Ingredients

    • 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil, divided
    • 16 oz button mushrooms or portabella mushrooms, diced {about 7 cups}
    • 1 lb potatoes diced
    • 4 cups water or chicken broth
    • 1 medium onion diced {about 2 cups}
    • 4 stalks celery diced {about 1 cup}
    • 12 oz ground turkey or ground pork
    • 3/4 teaspoon paprika
    • 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 3/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon thyme
    • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    • 1/8 teaspoon ginger

    Instructions

    • In a large French or Dutch oven, heat 1/2 tablespoon butter over medium high heat. Add about half of the mushrooms, and sauté until they release their juices, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool.
    • In the same French oven, bring the potatoes and water {or chicken broth} to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid.
    • In the same pot, melt the remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter over medium-high heat and add diced onion and celery. Sauté for 5 minutes.
    • Stir together sautéed mushrooms and ground turkey. Add to the onion-celery mixture, along with remaining the spices {paprika, garlic powder, salt, thyme, cayenne, and ginger}. Cook until the meat is done.
    • Lower the heat to medium and add remaining mushrooms. Let cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes. Add cooked potatoes along with 1/2 cup reserved cooking water. Partially cover and let simmer for 15-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has thickened and made a yummy sauce. Add more liquid if needed. Taste and season as needed.
    • Great served alone or over grits!

        Thanks Janie!!! I haven't frozen this specific recipe but I've frozen similar meals like it, and they turned out fine! To defrost it, I'd do it either overnight in the fridge or maybe add it to the stove in a saucepan and add a little extra broth and cook it on low until it defrosts. Then you could cook a little longer to evaporate any extra liquid if needed. Hope this helps 🙂
        xo!
