How to Make Acorn Squash With Apple Turkey Stuffing
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Wash and dry the acorn squash. Remove the stem and trim the bottom to create a flat surface.
- Cut the acorn squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and stringy pulp.
- Prick the inside flesh of each squash half all over with a fork.
- In a large bowl, combine the stuffing ingredients (see below) and mix thoroughly.
- Fill each squash half generously with the stuffing mixture, mounding slightly.
- Place the stuffed squash halves in a baking dish. Add 1/2 inch of water to the bottom of the dish.
- Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 45 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the squash is tender and the stuffing is heated through and lightly browned.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
