This is my new favorite recipe. So delicious. Even Everett said, "mom I'm eating this SO fast because it's SO good." ;)
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 acorn squash, halved, seeded
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1-1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/3 cup onion, chopped
- 2-3 cloves garlic, chopped
- 10 ounces canned Rotel mild tomatoes with green chilies
- 1/2 cup canned tomato sauce
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/4-1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/4 tsp paprika
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 400F degrees. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
- Place squash halves on the baking sheet, cut sides down. Bake until soft, 30 to 35 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet, brown turkey over medium-high heat, breaking it up as it cooks into smaller pieces and season with salt and pepper.
- When meat is browned and cooked through add onion and garlic; cook 3 minutes over medium heat.
- Add the can of Rotel tomatoes, tomato sauce, water, cumin, chili powder, and paprika.
- Cover and simmer over low heat about 25 minutes stirring occasionally.
You can top with cheese, but it's not necessary- so good with no toppings.
