Time 50m

Yield 2 , 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 acorn squash
2 eggs (optional)
1/2 cup turkey (nitrite free) or 1/2 cup pork ground sausage (nitrite free)
1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon coconut oil
2 garlic cloves
1/2 cup of chopped onion
2 tablespoons fresh sage (or 1 tsp dried sage)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Cut the acorn squash in half, lengthwise.
  • Place the acorn face down over a cookie sheet or baking dish and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the squash is tender. Remove from oven and cool enough to handle.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, heat the butter or oil and sauté the onions, garlic, sage and sausage until the sausage in fully cooked.
  • Scoop most of the meat from the squash out being careful not to break the skin or leave the acorn "shell" too thin.
  • In a large bowl mix the squash, and sausage.
  • Scoop sausage mixture back into the acorn.
  • With the back of a spoon, push down in the middle of the squash to create room for the eggs.
  • Crack the eggs open and pour one egg in the center of each squash.
  • Bake for an additional 10-20 minutes or until egg reaches your desired doneness.
