Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 450. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with olive oil. Place the squash face down on the parchment paper and spray with olive oil. Bake for 20 minutes or until it is tender when pricked with a fork.
  • While the squash cooks heat a pan with olive oil. Sauté the turkey for 10-15 minutes. Then add the mushrooms, apples, and spices. Sauté for an additional 5 minutes.
  • When the squash is done, scoop out most of the cooked center, leaving a little of the filling in the acorn squash. Add squash that was that was removed into the sauté pan and stir to mix in.
  • Add the mixture back into the squash shell and top with cheese.
  • Bake at 450 for 5-10 minutes until cheese melts.
