Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
- Slice a small disc off the bottom of each squash half; this will give you a flat surface for serving. Brush butter over the flesh. Place squash cut-sides down on the baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until tender when pierced with a knife, about 45 minutes.
- While squash is baking, mix turkey, Cheddar cheese, sour cream, green onions, green chiles, olives, garlic salt, cumin, pepper, and paprika in a bowl. Set aside.
- Stuff cooked squash halves with equal amounts of the turkey filling.
- Return to the oven and bake until filling is heated through, 15 to 20 minutes.
