Yield 8 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

One medium Pumpkin
One turkey breast
¼ C white flour
¼ C whole wheat flour
Salt & pepper
2 zucchini
1 onion
1 carrot
2 chilies
1 small bell pepper
2 potatoes
4-5 mushrooms
Kernels from two ears of corn
Northwoods seasoning
Foxpoint seasoning
1 C chicken bullion
½ - 1 C red wine
Peanut oil for frying

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350° Cut top of pumpkin and scoop out seeds and strings. Put pumpkin and top in shallow pan and add ¼" of water. Put in oven and bake for about 45 minutes - 1 hour. While pumpkin is baking, cut up vegetables and turkey into bite-sized pieces. Mix flour, salt and pepper in a paper bag and dredge cut-up turkey pieces. Heat peanut oil in skillet and sauté turkey pieces until browned. Remove from pan and set aside. Add a little more peanut oil and sauté potatoes, zucchini, onion, chilies and bell pepper for about five to ten minutes. Add mushrooms and corn and sauté about five minutes. Add the turkey meat back in, add seasonings and stir to combine. Add wine and bullion and simmer, covered until liquid reduces and potatoes are tender. Remove pumpkin from oven and score insides. Stuff with stew and put on pumpkin top (any extra stew can be baked in a casserole). Place back in oven and bake for an additional 45 minutes. Remove from oven, remove top and serve stew - scraping sides and bottom of pumpkin to add pieces of pumpkin to stew.
