Grilled Portobello Mushrooms Stuffed with Turkey and Sage

I wanted to try something new on the grill and found this gem in my mother’s stash.  It is a great alternative to a burger and a bun.  Delicious, healthy and quick to prepare.  I served the stuffed mushrooms with grilled asparagus and a chilled white wine – a delicious combination on a warm evening.
