Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease foil.

- Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 1 hour.
- Cook and stir sausage, celery, mushrooms, and onion in a skillet over medium heat until sausage is browned and vegetables are tender, 10 to 15 minutes; drain excess grease.
- Combine sour cream, Parmesan cheese, egg, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Stir sausage mixture into sour cream mixture.
- Scoop the meat from the inside of squash, being careful not to tear the skin. Mash squash meat in a bowl.

SAUSAGE STUFFED TURBAN SQUASH
This is my very favorite squash and it is a complete meal! One hint may be to have help with cutting this one open. It is very hard shelled.
