Ingredients
- Begin by preparing 2 delicata squash, gently halving them lengthwise and removing the seeds.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of fragrant olive oil over the squash.
- Next, sauté ½ of a sweet red onion, finely chopped, and 2 stalks of celery, diced.
- Brown 1 pound of ground turkey in the same pan, along with a flavorful spoonful of crumbled cooked bacon.
- Add a symphony of flavors with 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon each of ground turmeric, cumin, and safflower.
- Season this medley with a touch of sea salt to enhance the taste.
- Introduce a pop of color and nutrition by adding a bunch of rainbow chard, stemmed and roughly chopped.
- Pour in around ¼ cup of vegetable broth to bring everything together, adjusting the amount as needed.
- Finish off the dish with a creamy element by sprinkling a log of crumbled goat cheese over the top.
- Drizzle another 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle a hint of saffron for a finishing touch.
- For an added crunch, consider mixing in ½ cup of panko bread crumbs and 2 tablespoons of melted butter, if desired.
Step 1
Begin by preheating the oven to a cozy 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Take the squash and nestle it cut side-down in a shallow baking dish with a splash of water at the base, just enough to keep it moist. Slide the dish into the oven and let the squash bake until it's tender to the touch, typically around 20 to 30 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, in a sizable 12-inch skillet over medium heat, warm up 2 tablespoons of oil. Toss in diced onion and celery, sautéing them until the onions turn translucent, a process that usually takes about 5 minutes. Introduce the ground turkey, crispy bacon bits, minced garlic, along with a medley of spices like turmeric, cumin, safflower, and a sprinkle of sea salt. Stir and cook until the turkey loses its pink hue, which should take roughly 6 minutes. Next, add in the chard and a splash of broth to create a steamy environment. Cook until the chard wilts down and the liquid evaporates, typically around 4 minutes.
Step 3
Once the squash is fork-tender, remove any excess liquid from beneath it, then carefully flip the squash halves cut side-up. Spread a generous layer of creamy goat cheese onto each half, then stuff the cavities with the savory turkey mixture.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, gently mix together butter and breadcrumbs. Sprinkle this delightful mixture evenly over the squash halves. Adjust the oven rack to sit about 6 inches from the broiler and preheat it. Slide the stuffed squash back into the oven, this time under the broiler, and keep a close eye on it. Let it broil until the breadcrumbs acquire a gorgeous golden hue, typically around 3 to 5 minutes.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Embrace the power of organization: Before diving into the recipe, take a moment to organize your kitchen and designate a specific area for your ingredients and utensils. This will help streamline the cooking process and keep things running smoothly.
- 2. Utilize multi-functional storage containers: Consider investing in multi-functional storage containers that can easily transition from the refrigerator to the oven. This will help keep your prepped ingredients fresh and ready to go when it's time to cook.
