Print Recipe
Servings 1 each

Ingredients
  

  • 1 acorn squash, medium-sized, cut in half and seeded
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/4 pound loose sausage, pork, turkey or chicken
  • 1 apple, medium-sized, peeled and chopped
  • 2 cup fresh bread cubes
  • 1/2 cup broth, chicken or vegetable
  • 1/4 cup green onion, sliced, reserve half of green part for garnish
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place squash cut side down in a shallow baking dish. Add enough water to reach about halfway up side of squash. Bake for 30 minutes. Move squash to plate. Drain water then replace squash cut side up.
  • While squash bakes, prepare stuffing. In a medium-sized skillet, add oil, sausage and onion. Fry over medium heat for about 5 minutes to brown sausage. Add apple and sauté an additional 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and add broth, turmeric and pepper. Cover and simmer about 20 minutes until sausage is thoroughly cooked. Remove from heat and add enough bread cubes to make a moist but not soggy stuffing.
  • Stuff squash halves and return to oven. Bake for about 30 minutes until squash is done and stuffing has set. Garnish with green onion if desired.
