Sausage-Stuffed Turban Squash image

Turban squash is a winter squash that looks like a pumpkin wearing a striped green turban. The texture is similar to pumpkin and butternut squash. This recipe has been a long time favorite at Thanksgiving with my family.

Time 2h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 pounds turban squash
salt to taste
1 pound bulk pork sausage
1 cup chopped celery
½ cup sliced fresh mushrooms
¼ cup chopped onion
½ cup sour cream
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg, slightly beaten
¼ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease foil.
  • Cut the top off the squash using a serrated knife and scoop out seeds. Lightly salt the inside of squash. Place squash, cut-side down, onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 1 hour.
  • Cook and stir sausage, celery, mushrooms, and onion in a skillet over medium heat until sausage is browned and vegetables are tender, 10 to 15 minutes; drain excess grease.
  • Combine sour cream, Parmesan cheese, egg, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Stir sausage mixture into sour cream mixture.
  • Scoop the meat from the inside of squash, being careful not to tear the skin. Mash squash meat in a bowl.
  • Spoon some of the sausage mixture into the hollowed squash, making a ring. Spoon a ring of mashed squash over sausage mixture. Continue layering until all the sausage mixture and mashed squash are used.
  • Bake in the oven until heated through, 20 to 25 minutes.
