Ingredients
-
1 small acorn squash, 1 to 1 1/4 pounds
1 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 2 pieces
6 oz lean ground turkey
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 C chopped onion
1/4 C chopped celery
1/4 C chopped carrot
2 fl. oz. white wine
1/3 cups cooked rice
1/2 (10-ounce) package frozen spinach, completely thawed, drained and chopped
2 Tbsp toasted pine nuts
3/4 teaspoons dried oregano
Generous pinch kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Cut the squash in half and scoop out the seeds. If necessary in order for the squash to sit upright, cut off a small portion of the bottom. Put 1 piece of the butter in the cavity of each squash half. Set squash on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large saute pan over medium heat, brown the ground turkey until no longer pink. Remove the meat from the pan, add the olive oil and saute the onion, celery, and carrot until they begin to soften, approximately 7 to 10 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the white wine.
Return the turkey to the pan along with the cooked rice, spinach, pine nuts, oregano and salt and pepper, to taste. Stirring constantly, heat mixture thoroughly, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat. Divide the mixture evenly among the squash and bake for 1 hour or until the squash is tender. Serve immediately.
