Stuffed Acorn Squash
Although summer produce is probably my favorite of all…fall definitely brings in some wonderful vegetables to play around with in the kitchen, more specifically assorted autumn squash. I have been experimenting with different types of squash over the last few years and have truly enjoyed making dishes with them, including this Stuffed Acorn Squash.
This stuffed squash is absolutely delicious and I just love eating it out of it’s own little natural bowl. The filling is a combination of all things healthy and turns this into a meal you can definitely put in the comfort food category.
Stuffed Acorn Squash
Recipe from Aggie’s Kitchen
Makes 4 servings
2 acorn squash
1 lb ground turkey
2 tsp poultry seasoning
1 – 2 tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper, to taste
2 tsp whole fennel seed
1 container of whole mushrooms, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 bunch of kale, chopped
1/2 cup beef broth
1/2 cup panko
Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
Take acorn squash and carefully cut into even halves. Sprinkle salt and pepper into each half and place in 400 degree oven. Cook for approximately 1 hour.
In a large non stick skillet, heat 1 tsp oil and add chopped onions and mushrooms. Cook until soften, then add ground turkey. Cook and crumble for about 10 minutes, add seasonings and stir. Cook ground turkey until browned, add chopped kale. Continue to cook for another 10 minutes or so, add beef broth and panko and bring down to a simmer. Cook slowly until all of broth is absorbed. Set aside.
Spoon turkey mixture into each acorn squash half. Top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and place under broiler for about 5-8 minutes, until cheese is browned.

I’ll have to save this one for when I feel comfortable eating ground turkey again ;) This is such a perfect recipe for fall, can’t wait to try it!
Rachel @ Not Rachael Ray commented on Sep 14 11 at 9:25 amI got a call from my Kroger store this week after I purchased it last week. Here’s a link (hope I don’t get sent to spam) for a recall list that I quickly googled: http://www.cargill.com/wcm/groups/public/@ccom/documents/document/0910-turkey-recall-products.pdf
