Acorn Squash Stuffed with Turkey

Leftovers, anyone? Use fresh ground turkey or mince up some of the holiday leftovers.

  • 2 acorn squash (about 1-1/4 pounds each)
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 3/4 pound ground (or finely chopped) turkey
  • 1 cup red apples, finely chopped (cooking-type)
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup seedless raisins

 

Method

Cut squash in half lengthwise; discard seeds and stringy fiber. Place,cut   side down, in microwave-safe baking dish. Cover and microwave on high for 4 minutes. Turn squash over and rotate dish. Cover and microwave on high 4 minutes, or until squash is tender, yet firm.

Meanwhile, sauté onion in hot oil in large skillet over high heat until translucent. Add turkey and apple.  Cook, stirring, over medium heat 5 minutes, or until turkey is no longer pink. Sprinkle flour evenly over apple/meat mixture, stirring to combine well. Gradually stir in soy sauce. Cook, stirring, until slightly thickened. Stir in raisins, then immediately remove from heat. Fill squash halves equally with turkey mixture. Cover loosely.  

Microwave on high for 1 minute - just to thoroughly heat filling.

Serves: 4
