December 11th Stuffed Squash

 

- December 11th Stuffed Squash -

 

Fry turkey bacon in a large skillet. (Use olive oil in the pan to make it yummier.) Remove to a plate.

Add ground turkey and lots of chopped onion to skillet (again with olive oil). Season with salt. Fry until beginning to brown. Deglaze the pan with a little water at the end to get all the flavor into the turkey you can.

Add minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and thyme and cook until fragrant - less than a minute.

Add tomato without the juices - canned, frozen, or fresh. Keep the juices from canned or frozen to add flavor to another meal. Homemade tomato soup?

Tear turkey bacon into meat mixture.

Spoon into pre-cooked delicata squash halves (or any small, winter squash). Bake until warm.

Eat with coconut oil (or butter, if you prefer) and a sprinkling of salt.

 

The meat filling is also good in green peppers, as Hannah and I discovered today. No need to parboil the peppers if they are fresh from the freezer. (We had a bumper crop of peppers this summer. Our freezer stash may last until the next crop.)
