Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 acorn squashes
2 cups leftover turkey, diced
1 medium onion, diced
1 carrot, diced
3 stalks celery, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, minced
2 eggs
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for drizzling
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Using a sharp knife, slice off the top and bottom of an acorn squash to create flat surfaces. Slice the squash in half and scoop out the seeds with a spoon.
  • Place the squash halves on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle the squash with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Bake for 40 minutes, until the squash is tender and easily pierced with a paring knife.
  • Then heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Toss in the onion, carrot, celery, salt, pepper, and rosemary and sauté until the vegetables are completely tender, about 8 minutes.
  • Sprinkle in the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Pour in the turkey leftovers and stir the mixture so that everything is evenly mixed.
  • Pour the mixture into a large bowl and let it cool about 5 minutes.
  • Crack in the eggs and mix so that everything is evenly coated.
  • Spoon the turkey mixture into the squash halves.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, until the turkey mixture has browned slightly. Then serve.
  • Enjoy!
