![]() I add about another 1/2 tsp of sage… but I really, really like sage. It may not be the most elegant, but it sure is good and it gets the job done perfectly!Īdd a bit more seasoning to taste. I use a cup of stuff from a box of stove top stuffing mix. In a large mixing bowl add the turkey sausage mixĪdd your stuffing, pecans, and 3/4 cup chicken broth. Right around the time your turkey sausage mixture is done cooking, your acorn squash will be done. Yum! It adds such a delightful nuttiness and the perfect texture.Īdd your onion and celery to the sausage and cook on medium high for about five minutes or until they are both nice and tender.Īdd the apple and cook for another few minutes. ha ha haĬhop up some pecans while you’re at it. A lot of people would argue that things don’t cook evenly, and I’m sure that’s the case in some meals, but I’m pretty rustic in that way. I chop almost everything super quick and rough. (I used honey crisp because they are my favorite!) As you can also tell, I don’t have master knife skills. Now back to business, when there’s about a half hour left for the squash get back in the kitchen and brown a pound of turkey sausage.Īnd a large apple. We giggled and practiced out ABCs and 123s. While I was impatiently waiting for the squash to be done, I laid on the floor and laughed with Miss Pepper. Now lightly brush over each half of squash and place into the oven, uncovered, for an hour. Microwave for about 45 seconds or until completely melted. Place two tablespoons of butter in a microwave safe bowl along with 1/2 tsp ground sage, 1/2 tsp celery salt, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and fresh cracked pepper. Place them in a large glass casserole dish Here’s what happened in the kitchen this morning. I could care less about the turkey, but I know, I know. I’m such a side dish fiend when it comes to big family meals. Here’s how my bowl goes (bottom to top) Mashed Potatoes, Stuffing (A LOT), a scoop of green bean casserole, a scoop of creamed corn casserole, and maybe a few pieces of turkey topped with gravy. For Thanksgiving, I’m the type who wants a bowl…. (Yes, I am trying to get that recipe up on the blog BEFORE Thanksgiving, but I’ve had a few trial and error’s due to the “lightening” up process) It’s literally the best stuffing in the world, and it needs to be on this blog whether I am able to lighten it up or not. My mom has made Sausage & Rice Stuffing since I can remember. ![]() I’m okay.) and I also decided to bring some freshness and texture to it. (Go Ex-Boyfriend’s Mom!) But I decided to skip the cheese, what? (I don’t think I need a doctor. ![]() Anyway, the acorn squash was stuffed with LOTS of butter, stuffing mix, and cheese. Wow, I haven’t said or even thought of the term ex-boyfriend in so long. I’ve only had stuffed acorn squash once in my life and it was 10 plus years ago at Thanksgiving with a ex boyfriend’s family. I’ll update tomorrow on how to reheat, but I’m thinking i’ll just throw them back into a glass casserole dish, cover with foil, turn on the oven, and hope for the best. I basically threw a bunch of fall together in a bowl, stuffed it into a squash, and called it lunch.
