Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Place squash halves, cut side up, on a parchment-lined or lightly oiled baking sheet.
  • Spray or brush the squash flesh with ½ tbsp olive oil.
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper, place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for about 45 minutes or until the squash is fork-tender.
  • In the meantime, prepare the filling and topping: Heat remaining 1 ½ tbsp olive oil over medium heat in a large saute pan.
  • Add diced shallot and cook until translucent but not brown, approximately 4 minutes.
  • Add ground turkey, breaking it up with a wooden spoon and cooking until it’s light brown, about 7 minutes.
  • Add mushrooms and wild rice, stir to combine with other ingredients, then add thyme, sage, salt and pepper. 
  • Cook, stirring often, for about another 10 minutes or until mushrooms are tender and turkey is nice and brown and cooked all the way through.
  • Melt soy-free Earth Balance in a small saute pan over medium heat.
  • Add gluten-free panko breadcrumbs and toss with butter, then allow to cook in pan for about 10 minutes or until toasted, stirring often to avoid burning.
  • Remove squash from oven, stuff each one with about ¼ of the turkey mixture and top with toasted panko.
