Cranberry Cream Cheese & Turkey Stuffed Mushrooms

These Cranberry Cream Cheese & Turkey Stuffed Mushrooms are a delicious holiday appetizer.  And they are quick and easy to prepare!

The holiday season is in on!  Full of weekend parties and gatherings with friends and family…it’s go time.  If you’re hosting a party, you should make these Cranberry Cream Cheese & Turkey Stuffed Mushrooms.  They’re easy to make, and they’re a crowd pleaser.

I partnered with Canadian Turkey to bring you this delicious turkey appetizer recipe just in time for the holidays!  I was compensated for my time, but the recipe, all thoughts and opinions are my own as always.  We really love turkey.

Turkey doesn’t just have to be for holiday dinners!  In fact, turkey is versatile enough for any kind of recipe, including holiday appetizers.  These Cranberry Cream Cheese & Turkey Stuffed Mushrooms are a festive appetizer with the flavours of a turkey dinner all wrapped up in a little mushroom bite…and they’re delicious!

I really wanted these bites to remind people of Christmas, so I seasoned the ground turkey with sage, and added homemade cranberry sauce.  Combined with the tang of the cream cheese, and the deliciousness of the cremini mushrooms, I think these do just that.  They’re creamy and flavourful.

Then I finished them off with some crispy butter toasted bread crumbs and chopped parsley for colour.  These stuffed mushrooms will disappear off your appetizer table really quick!

Don’t they look so good?  I hope you enjoy this delicious turkey holiday appetizer!
