Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Place squash cut side-down on a shallow baking dish with about 1/2 inch water at the bottom.
Bake in the preheated oven until fork-tender, 20 to 30 minutes.
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add onion and celery, cook and stir until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add turkey, bacon, garlic, turmeric, cumin, safflower, and sea salt, cook and stir until turkey is no longer pink, about 6 minutes. Add chard and just enough broth to create steam. Cook until chard is wilted and liquid has evaporated, about 4 minutes.
Drain any remaining liquid from under the squash. Flip squash cut side-up. Spread goat cheese equally over each squash half, fill cavities with the turkey mixture.
Toss bread crumbs and butter together lightly in a bowl, spread evenly over the squash halves. Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
Return squash to the oven and bake under the broiler, watching closely, until bread crumbs are golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.

Recipe Yield

4 squash halves

Recipe Note

This relatively simple recipe makes a lovely presentation as a side or main dish. Delicata squash is a mild squash similar to butternut, which is a suitable replacement squash if you cannot find delicata. This is a great recipe for experimentation. Consider adding to your turkey mixture: red bell pepper, curry, or pine nuts. For a filler, you could add brown, white, or wild rice. Or experiment on your own. Enjoy!
