Stuffed Acorn Squash

So fall has come and it is time to start using the great fruits and vegetables at the markets. So with that said I decided to try Acorn Squash. Never cooked it but hey how hard can it be. So I researched different ways to prepare it, but none strikes me as healthy. I didn't want to use butter or brown sugar (it's not dessert). I decided to stuff it, with something other than ground turkey. I must say it was delish and I got 5 stars from the bossman (he did eat all of this and 1/2 of mine again). Ingredients: 3 Acorn Squash (or use however many you are serving) 1 package of Sweet Turkey Sausage links (casing removed) 1/2 tsp Minced Garlic 1/2 tsp Olive Oil 1/2 tsp Pesto 4 Vine Tomatoes (chopped) 1 cup Chopped Spinach 3 Tbsp cooked Quinoa 3-4 Tbsp Marinara Sauce Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Take you acorn squash and slice the tops off, scooping out the seeds and taking the stringy flesh out. Place squash in the microwave for 3 minutes till slightly soft. Remove and let sit to the side to cool. Now take your saute pan and place your olive oil, garlic and sausage. Let the sausage cook till no longer pink. Put your pesto, spinach, quinoa, chopped tomatoes, and marinara to the mixture and stir together over medium heat. Let it blend together for about 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat and place your squash on a spray baking tray, scoop your mixture into the squash and place in the oven for about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve. Tips: I served this with a roasted vegetable salad. It was really good and yes you can eat the skin. Make sure the squash is really soft, so that it is easy to eat with a spoon or fork. This is a great complete meal. You get protein, complete grain, and vegetable. Easy to serve for large party or group.
