Ingredients
- 3 acorn squash
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1 lb ground turkey sausage
- 1 small onion, diced small (about 1/2 cup)
- 2 stalks celery, diced (about 3/4 cup)
- 1 apple, chopped
- 2 cups farro
- 1/2 cup dried cherries or cranberries
- 1/4 tsp dried sage
- 1/8 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, extra for topping if desired
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
Carefully rim a tiny bit off the top and bottom of each squash to create a flat surface. Then cut each squash in half. Scrape out seeds and stringy bits. Rub inside and cut edges of squash with a tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle inside of squash with salt and pepper. Place cavity side down on prepared baking sheets. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until fork tender.
While the squash roasts, heat the teaspoon of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering and hot, add the sausage, onion, and celery and cook until sausage is cooked through, breaking the sausage up into crumbles as it cooks.
Add in farro, apples, cherries, sage, and garlic powder and cook until the apple softens and the rest of the mixture has heated through.
Turn off heat and stir in cheese.
When squash is tender, remove from oven and carefully flip each half over. Fill with sausage mixture and if desired, sprinkle with additional cheese. Return to oven for 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Serve immediately.
