  • apple1 medium apple
  • Celery isolated on white background. top view2 stalks celery
  • garlic3 cloves garlic
  • parmesan cheese2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese - plus more for topping
  • Top view of bowl full of breadcrumbs1 tablespoon bread crumbs

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Cut your squash in half, then use a spoon to scoop out and discard the seeds. Set your squash aside in a casserole dish that has been greased a bit with some cooking spray.
  • Next, melt your butter in a small ramekin. Stir in the nutmeg, cinnamon and brown sugar.
  • Brush both ends of the squash liberally with your cinnamon and nutmeg butter. Sprinkle a little bit more brown sugar on top if you wish. Reserve a little bit of butter for drizzling on top of your squash!
  • Place the squash in the oven and roast for about 50 minutes to an hour.
  • With your squash is cooking, prep your ingredients. In one bowl, you will have your diced onion and thyme. Combine your celery, garlic, cranberries, and apple in a second bowl. Set aside.
  • Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in your skillet.
  • Once your skillet is warm, add in your ground turkey and season with salt and pepper. Cook through, and then remove the meat from the pan and set aside.
  • Add in your onions and thyme and cook until the onion is translucent or about 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add in the celery, apples, cranberries and garlic and cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add the cooked turkey back into the pan stir consistently for about 3 minutes until it is warm. Add in your breadcrumbs and cheese and stir. Taste-testing is necessary at this point, and you should adjust your salt, pepper and seasonings to taste.
  • When your squash comes out of the oven, fill the squash with your turkey stuffing mixture, top with parmesan cheese and place back in the range for about 10 minutes.
  • Drizzle your cooked squash with a little more nutmeg, cinnamon and brown sugar butter if you like, and dig in!
