   • Start by removing the stems from the portabella mushrooms and setting them aside. Place the mushroom caps, bottoms up, on a medium baking sheet.

2. Cook the Sausage:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the turkey sausage link on a small baking sheet and cook it uncovered in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until the interior is no longer pink. Once cooked, remove it from the heat, chop it, and set it aside.

3. Prepare the Filling:

   • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the chopped mushroom stems, chopped sausage, chopped garlic, crushed garlic, ground cayenne pepper, ground black pepper, and seasoned bread crumbs. Cook and stir this mixture for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the bread crumbs begin to brown.

4. Mix the Cheesy Filling:

   • Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool for approximately 10 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl, then mix in the softened cream cheese and grated Parmesan cheese until well combined.

5. Stuff the Mushrooms:

   • Spoon the cheesy sausage mixture generously into each mushroom cap, ensuring they are evenly filled.

6. Bake:

   • Place the stuffed mushrooms back onto the baking sheet and bake them in the preheated oven for around 20 minutes, or until the stuffing is lightly browned and the mushrooms are tender.

7. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Once baked to perfection, remove the stuffed portabella caps from the oven and serve them hot as a delightful appetizer or a satisfying main course.
