Don't have all those spices? Substitute extra poultry seasoning.
Making more and want to make the turkey go farther? Add grated zucchini, carrot, chopped celery or shredded cabbage! Also a great way to sneak in some veggies!
Ingredients
- 1 carnival or acorn squash (or whatever squash you prefer)
- ½ tsp celery seed
- ½ tsp thyme
- ½ tsp rosemary
- 2 allspice berries
- ¼ tsp poultry seasoning
- 1 diced onion
- 1 diced apple cored, but leave the peel on
- 1 lb turkey (ground or shredded)
- 1 cup cranberries
- 1 egg
Directions
- Wash and split the squash in half.
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Scoop out seed and strings, you can roast the seeds, or throw them in a pot with other veggie ends for vegetable stock. Or not, up to you.
- Place squash skin side up in a shallow pan, (we used a pie plate) add ¼ cup water and bake for 25 min while you prepare everything else.
- Sautee turkey lightly, adding onion and apple.
- Add rosemary, celery seed, thyme, allspice, poultry seasoning, and stir.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Pull the squash out of the oven and flip over, watch for steam, it's hot!
- Add egg and cranberries to turkey mixture, stir well.
- Spoon mixture into the squash cavity and put back into the oven 20-25 min depending on how big your squash is.
