Description

Roasted acorn squash stuffed with a hearty and healthy combination of ground turkey, kale, mushrooms and onions.

Ingredients

  • 2 whole Acorn Squash, Cut In Half
  • 1 pound Ground Turkey
  • 1 whole Medium Onion, Chopped
  • 8 ounces, weight Whole Mushrooms, Chopped
  • 2 teaspoons Poultry Seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons Garlic Powder
  • 2 teaspoons Whole Fennel Seed
  • 1 bunch Kale, Chopped
  • ½ cups Beef Broth
  • ½ cups Panko
  • 2 pinches Salt And Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Oil
  • Grated Parmesan Cheese, For Topping

Preparation

Take acorn squash and carefully cut into even halves. Sprinkle salt and pepper into each half and place in a 400-degree oven. Cook for approximately 1 hour.

In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon 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, then add chopped kale. Continue to cook for another 10 minutes or so, then add beef broth and panko and bring down to a simmer. Cook slowly until all of the broth is absorbed. Set aside.

Spoon the turkey mixture into each acorn squash half. Top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and place under the broiler for about 5 to 8 minutes, until cheese is brown.

I loved this! I loved the combination of ingredients, though I did reduce the fennel a bit. Thought leftovers were even better. Thanks for a great recipe! We will definitely make it again.

Made this last night and it was fab! I left out the panko/broth since I am not eating grains, and it was still wonderful. I also switched it up and did marjoram in place of fennel as I don’t like fennel. It was so easy and will make it again!

I have made this recipe so many times because it is DELICIOUS! My husband loves it, too. The fennel is a wonderful addition. I do like to throw in some pecans or sliced almonds for a little crunch sometimes. Thanks!
