Ingredients

1 Squash (4 inch dia) Squash
1 Dash Salt
1 Dash Pepper
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 1/4 Cup chopped Onions
3 Cloves, minced Garlic
2 Cup, chopped Kale
1 Tbsp Sage
8 Oz Ground Turkey
1 Tsp Curry Powder
1 Can (6 oz) Tomato Paste
1/2 Lb Brussels Sprouts

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place the halved squash cut side­up on the baking sheet, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and bake for 20 minutes

Meanwhile, heat 1 teaspoon of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the onion and garlic, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook, stirring often, until the garlic is fragrant and the onion starts to soften, about a minute.

Add the kale and sage leaves and cook, stirring often, until the kale is wilted and dark green, about 2 minutes more.

Take the skillet off the heat and let it cool for 5 minutes

When the mixture has cooled slightly, combine the ground turkey, curry powder, tomato paste, and some salt and pepper in a medium mixing bowl.

Use your hands to mix everything together, then add the cooked vegetable mixture and mix everything together again

Divide the mixture in half, roll each half into a large ball, and stuff inside the pre­cooked acorn squash halves on the baking sheet.


Toss the brussel sprouts in a medium mixing bowl with the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper, then spread the brussel sprouts out on the baking sheet with the squash.

Bake until the turkey is cooked through, the squash is soft, and the brussel sprouts are tender and browned, 25 to 30 minutes more

Serve half the brussel sprouts with one stuffed squash half.
