All the flavors of fall are packed into this comforting meal. Serve one half per person as a main entree, or slice into wedges and serve as a side dish.

Time 50m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 delicata squash, halved lengthwise and seeded
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 Italian turkey sausages (such as Jennie-O®), casings removed
¼ cup finely chopped celery
¼ cup finely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon dried sage
¼ teaspoon dried rosemary
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ cup cooked wild rice
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped dried cherries
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
  • Brush cut sides of squash with 2 teaspoons oil. Place cut-sides down on the baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until soft, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat. Add turkey sausage. Saute, breaking up into small crumbles, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add celery, onion, garlic, sage, rosemary and thyme. Continue cooking until vegetables are soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in rice, cherries, and parsley until mixture is warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Turn squash halves over so they are cut-side up. Fill with the sausage mixture and top with Parmesan cheese. Return to oven and bake until cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes.

I'm not a big fan of turkey sausage, but this dish was still very good. The squash was roasted perfectly and the stuffing was flavorful.

The instructions were a little unclear, but the dish turned out great in the end. I would recommend making sure to roast the squash for the full amount of time.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more herbs or spices.

Delicious and easy to make! I used ground chicken instead of turkey sausage and it turned out great. The squash was tender and the stuffing was flavorful. Will definitely make again!

This stuffed delicata squash was a hit with my family! The turkey sausage and apple stuffing was flavorful and moist, and the squash was perfectly roasted. I will definitely be making this again.
