Ingredients
-
1 delicata squash, halved lengthwise and seeded
-
2 teaspoons olive oil
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
2 Italian turkey sausages (such as Jennie-O®), casings removed
-
¼ cup finely chopped celery
-
¼ cup finely chopped onion
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
¼ teaspoon dried sage
-
¼ teaspoon dried rosemary
-
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
-
¼ cup cooked wild rice (Optional)
-
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped dried cherries
-
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
-
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
-
Brush cut sides of squash with 2 teaspoons oil. Place cut-sides down on the baking sheet.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until soft, 20 to 25 minutes.
-
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat. Add turkey sausage. Saute, breaking up into small crumbles, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add celery, onion, garlic, sage, rosemary and thyme. Continue cooking until vegetables are soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in rice, cherries, and parsley until mixture is warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes.
-
Turn squash halves over so they are cut-side up. Fill with the sausage mixture and top with Parmesan cheese. Return to oven and bake until cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes.
Cook's Note:
Substitute brown rice for the wild rice if desired. I usually keep single-serve precooked rice cups in the pantry to use for recipes like these that only require a small amount of rice.
