MUSHROOM BURGER WRAP

by

Do you love mushroom? You’ll adore the fact that swapping in mushroom for a portion of higher-caloric ingredients, like meat, in a dish reduces calories, fat and sodium without compromising the flavor. Sounds good….right? You don’t have to give up on all your favorite dishes – you just want to make them more guilt-free.

Did you know – Increasing the intake of lower calorie foods, specifically mushrooms, in place of those higher in calories, like ground beef, can be an effective method for reducing calories and fat while still feeling full and satisfied after a meal. This approach of replacing some ground beef, turkey or other meat with mushrooms is known as “swapability.” It works because mushrooms’ hearty texture and rich flavor allow them to blend seamlessly with meats. The mushroom and meat “swapability” technique is an economical way to make family meals more nutritious and works great in family favorites like lasagna, burgers, tacos or chili. Sounds yummy… right? You’ll be glad with the results!

MUSHROOM TIPS:

o Chop up your favorite mushroom variety to match the consistency of the ground beef or turkey;

o Cook and season mushrooms the same way you would meat;

o Combine the cooked meat and mushrooms and use the mix to complete your recipe.
