3 pounds turban squash
salt to taste
1 pound bulk pork sausage
1 cup chopped celery
½ cup sliced fresh mushrooms
¼ cup chopped onion
½ cup sour cream
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg, slightly beaten
¼ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease foil.
  • Cut the top off the squash using a serrated knife and scoop out seeds. Lightly salt the inside of squash. Place squash, cut-side down, onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 1 hour.
  • Cook and stir sausage, celery, mushrooms, and onion in a skillet over medium heat until sausage is browned and vegetables are tender, 10 to 15 minutes; drain excess grease.
  • Combine sour cream, Parmesan cheese, egg, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Stir sausage mixture into sour cream mixture.
  • Scoop the meat from the inside of squash, being careful not to tear the skin. Mash squash meat in a bowl.

  • Bake in the oven until heated through, 20 to 25 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Turban squash is the best choice for this recipe, as it has a large cavity that can be easily stuffed. If you can't find turban squash, you can also use butternut squash or acorn squash.
  • Don't overcook the squash: The squash should be tender but still slightly firm. If you overcook it, it will become mushy.
  • Use a variety of sausage: You can use any type of sausage you like in this recipe. Some popular choices include Italian sausage, breakfast sausage, and chorizo.
  • Add vegetables to the stuffing: Vegetables such as onions, celery, and carrots can add flavor and texture to the stuffing.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce will help to keep the squash and stuffing moist and flavorful. You can use a simple tomato sauce, a creamy Alfredo sauce, or a spicy enchilada sauce.
  • Top with cheese: Cheese is a classic topping for stuffed squash. You can use any type of cheese you like, such as mozzarella, cheddar, or Parmesan.

Conclusion:

Sausage-stuffed turban squash is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a fall meal. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little planning, you can make this dish a showstopper at your next dinner party.
