Ingredients
Pumpkin, cooked, 1600 gramsTurkey, Ground turkey, 93% lean, 20 ozOlive Oil, 1 tbspOnions, raw, 2 medium (2-1/2" dia)Garlic, 3 cloveWhite Rice, long grain, 3 cupParmesan Cheese, grated, .5 cupFennel seed, 1 tbspPepper, red or cayenne, 1 tspBasil, 1 tbspOregano, ground, 1 tspThyme, ground, .25 tspSage, ground, .25 tsp
Cut the top off the pumpkin and scoop out the innards. Save the seeds for toasted later on, but toss the stem. Bake the pumpkin at 450 for 30 minutes, in a pan with .5" of water in it.
Start the rice as instructed on package.
Meanwhile, saute the onions and garlic in a little olive oil until translucent. Add all the spices and salt and pepper. Throw in the turkey and break up until it is in pieces. When it is nearly cooked, add the mushrooms unless you totally forget like me.
Add the now cooked rice with the cheese, thyme and sage. Adjust seasonings. Take the pumpkin out of the oven and turn it down to 350 and stuff into the now very well cooked pumpkin cavity and top with cheese if desired.
Cook another 40 minutes. Serve while scraping out the pumpkin to mix with the stuffing.
