Ingredients

  • 4 delicata squash sliced vertically and deseeded
  • 1 lb. lean ground turkey or chicken
  • 1/2 cup onion diced
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 14.5 oz. can diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1 teaspoon seasoning salt use your favorite
  • 2 handfuls fresh spinach
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Brown meat in a large skillet over med-high heat. Dash salt and pepper over meat. After meat has been cooking for about 2-3 minutes, add scallion and garlic.
  • Meanwhile, you may want to pop the squash in the microwave for about 3-5 minutes depending on how large your squash is. I did not take this step, but you may want to, to soften the squash up a bit.
  • Once meat is almost fully cooked, add tomatoes, seasoning salt and spinach. Stir to combine and continue to cook until spinach is wilted. This should only take a couple of minutes.
  • Use a slotted (this will help drain excess liquid) spoon to spoon the turkey mixture into the squash halves. Fill them as full as possible. You may have extra turkey mixture; which makes a very tasty salad topping.
  • Bake stuffed squash at 400 degrees F. for 20 to 30 minutes, until tops are browned and squash is soft.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

Leftovers are great so don't be afraid to make the full recipe even if you will only serve half at one meal.
