Apple and Sausage Stuffed Butternut Squash image

I discovered a recipe in Joy of Cooking and tweaked it a bit. I'm not sure it's worth the trouble of stuffing the squash. Personally, I'd just peel and dice the squash while it's raw, then roast the squash while sauteeing the rest of the filling, then toss the whole mess in a baking dish and be done with it. But, if you're into fancy presentation, go for it. :) No matter what, it tastes great, and it's nutritious.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs butternut squash
1 (20 ounce) package Italian turkey sausage
3 small granny smith apples
1/2 lemon
1 large yellow onion
salt and pepper
1 teaspoon rubbed sage
red pepper flakes, to taste
1/2 teaspoon honey
3 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Slice open the squash, seed, then rub flesh with olive oil. Cover and bake at 375* for 30-40 min until tender. Remove and set aside until cool enough to handle. Don't turn off the oven.
  • Meanwhile, dice the apple into ½ cubes and set aside in a bowl. Stir in juice of ½ lemon to prevent browning. Dice onion into ½ in pieces and add to the apple.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat, then crumble in the sausage. Saute until no longer pink, and some spots are crisping up. Without draining off the fat, add in the apple and onion mixture. Season with salt, pepper, sage and red pepper flakes. Cook stirring for several minutes until crisp tender. Remove from heat and return sausage mixture to bowl.
  • Remove squash in big chunks, leaving ½ of flesh in shell. Stir squash, 2 T butter and honey into sausage mixture, then pile mixture back into squash halves. Dot squash with remaining T butter, then return to oven. Bake uncovered until piping hot and crisp on top, about 20-25 minutes.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more spices or herbs to the stuffing.

I had some trouble getting the squash to cook all the way through. I ended up having to bake it for an extra 30 minutes. Other than that, the dish was delicious.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less apple or adding some savory ingredients to balance out the sweetness.
