Turkey Stuffed Delicata Squash Recipe

Recipe By 12 Tomatoes

I have always loved delicata squash because preparing it is so much easier than other winter squashes. The skin is totally edible, so you dont have to deal with peeling any tough rind and there is, of course, also the amazing flavor to mention, which is like a cross between sweet potato and butternut. You can go as simple as just slicing and roasting it, but one of my favorite ways to prepare it is to stuff it with all sorts of goodies like ground turkey, apples, spinach, fresh herbs, pecans and dried cranberries for a nutritious meal with a delicious sweet and savory balance.
