Stuffed Thanksgiving Pumpkins (Diabetic Friendly) image

These are the cutest things! and they don't taste 1/2 bad either. They are quite popular here at my house and not hard to make (always a +). I haven't tried this with the yeast, I just add another 1/2 cup of bread crumbs. I hope you enjoy them. P.S. The pumpkins that I use are called Sugar Babys in my area.

Time 45m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 small fresh pumpkin (baby)
1/3 cup vegetable stock
1/2 cup onion (finely chopped)
2 large garlic cloves (minced)
1/2 teaspoon dried sage
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
1/4 cup nuts (toasted (your favorite)
1/3 cup celery (finely chopped)
1/4 cup dried apricot (chopped)
1/2 cup nutritional yeast flakes, grated
salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice off the top 1/2 inch of each pumpkin and scoop out the seeds. Bake pumpkins for 15 minutes.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat stock to simmering and cook onions until softened but not browned.
  • Add garlic, sage, thyme, and bread crumbs. Cook, stirring, 1 minute, then remove from.
  • heat and stir in remaining ingredients.
  • Fill pumpkins with stuffing. (Any remaining stuffing may be baked separately in a lightly oiled baking dish.).
  • Bake for 15 minutes, or until stuffing is lightly browned and heated through. Be careful not to over bake the pumpkins, because they will split.
