Tonight's recipe was a dish that I created months ago but then completely forgot about. Luckily, I rediscovered it recently and was able to enjoy the dish tonight. This mushroom marvel is actually a combination of a few Rachael Ray recipes with the addition of a few tweaks of my own. The recipe consists of meaty portobello mushrooms that are broiled until tender, and then stuffed with a turkey ragu sauce that tastes as if it's been simmering for hours, thanks to the red wine and fresh herbs (no one has to know how simple and quick it really is to make!).
