SHANNON'S STUFFED DELICATA SQUASH



Shannon's Stuffed Delicata Squash image

This relatively simple recipe makes a lovely presentation as a side or main dish. Delicata squash is a mild squash similar to butternut, which is a suitable replacement squash if you cannot find delicata. This is a great recipe for experimentation. Consider adding to your turkey mixture: red bell pepper, curry, or pine nuts. For a filler, you could add brown, white, or wild rice. Or experiment on your own. Enjoy!

Time 58m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 delicata squash, halved lengthwise and seeded
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ sweet red onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, diced
1 pound ground turkey
1 tablespoon crumbled cooked bacon
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon safflower (Mexican saffron)
sea salt to taste
1 bunch rainbow chard, stemmed and chopped
¼ cup vegetable broth, or as needed
1 (4 ounce) log crumbled goat cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon saffron
½ cup panko bread crumbs
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place squash cut side-down on a shallow baking dish with about 1/2 inch water at the bottom.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until fork-tender, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add onion and celery; cook and stir until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add turkey, bacon, garlic, turmeric, cumin, safflower, and sea salt; cook and stir until turkey is no longer pink, about 6 minutes. Add chard and just enough broth to create steam. Cook until chard is wilted and liquid has evaporated, about 4 minutes.
  • Drain any remaining liquid from under the squash. Flip squash cut side-up. Spread goat cheese equally over each squash half; fill cavities with the turkey mixture.
  • Toss bread crumbs and butter together lightly in a bowl; spread evenly over the squash halves. Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Return squash to the oven and bake under the broiler, watching closely, until bread crumbs are golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
