Roasted Butternut Squash with Turkey Stuffing
This butternut squash with turkey stuffing brings all the cozy fall flavors together in one simple, family-friendly dish.
Ingredients
- 1 butternut squash
- 1 Tbs olive oil
- 1 Ib lean ground turkey, I used 93% lean
- 1 Tbs butter
- 1 cup yellow onion, diced
- 1 cup celery, diced
- 1 granny smith apple, diced
- 1 tsp poultry seasoning
- 1/2 tsp salt and pepper
- 6 oz cubed cornbread stuffing mix, I used Pepperidge Farm
- 1/2 - 3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 eggs
- Parmesan
Instructions
For the butternut squash:
- Preheat oven to 375F. Grease baking dish or line with aluminum foil. Halve squash lengthwise and remove seeds and strings. Arrange cut side up in baking dish and brush lightly with olive oil. Cover with foil and bake until tender, about 45 min to 1 hour. Remove from oven and let squash cool before handling. Scoop out most of the flesh.
For the stuffing:
- Heat a large skillet over med-high heat and cook turkey, about 8-10 min, breaking it up with a wooden spoon to avoid oversized clumps. Add poultry seasoning and stir until well incorporated. Remove turkey from skillet, then wipe down skillet with a paper towel. Add butter and cook onion, celery, and apple until tender. In a large mixing bowl, add turkey, veggies, cornbread stuffing, scooped out butternut squash, chicken broth, and eggs. Mix until well incorporated.
- Add stuffing to hollowed out squash and top with generous amounts of parmesan. Bake uncovered until stuffing is cooked through and cheese has melted, approx 15-20 min.
