Time 1h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 teaspoon butter, softened
2 acorn squash, halved and seeded
2 cups cubed cooked turkey
1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
½ cup sour cream
½ cup chopped green onions
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles
1 (2.5 ounce) can sliced ripe olives, drained
1 teaspoon garlic salt
¾ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon paprika

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
  • Slice a small disc off the bottom of each squash half; this will give you a flat surface for serving. Brush butter over the flesh. Place squash cut-sides down on the baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tender when pierced with a knife, about 45 minutes.
  • While squash is baking, mix turkey, Cheddar cheese, sour cream, green onions, green chiles, olives, garlic salt, cumin, pepper, and paprika in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Stuff cooked squash halves with equal amounts of the turkey filling.
  • Return to the oven and bake until filling is heated through, 15 to 20 minutes.
