Ingredients

  • 2 tsp cooking oil (divided)
  • A few pinches of salt and pepper (divided)
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 4 oz. baby Bella mushrooms, diced
  • 1 pound 93% lean ground turkey
  • 1 apple, diced

  • 2 Tbsp broth of choice, apple juice, or water
  • ¼ cup unsweetened dried cranberries
  • 3 Tbsp parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly brush acorn squash with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 1 hour or until browning just begins.
  2. Heat 1 tsp of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, celery, mushrooms, a pinch of salt and pepper, and saute until onions are translucent, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
