Ingredients

    1 acorn squash, halved and seeded
    3 T butter
    1 c. diced celery
    1 c. finely chopped onion
    1 c. fresh mushrooms, sliced
    8 pieces turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
    1/4 c. frozen spinach, thawed and drained
    1/8 tsp salt
    1 pinch ground black pepper
    1 tsp chopped parsley

Preheat oven to 350 F. Place squash cut side down in a glass dish. Cook in microwave for 20 mins on high, until almost tender. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and add celery and onion; saute until transparent. Stir in mushrooms; cook 2-3 mins more. Add bacon and spinach; stir until well mixed. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and parsley. Divide mixture in half, spoon into the squash, and cover. Bake 15 mins in the preheated oven.
