Steps:
- Cut your winter squash (in this case, turban squash) in half and remove seeds and stringys with a spoon. Place squash, cut side down, into baking pan with enough water to cover bottom of pan. Bake at 425F for 45-60 minutes or until flesh is soft. Remove from oven, flip halves to allow to cool. (Keep Oven at 425F for later step) Prepare your filling by beating 4 eggs into sweetened condensed milk. Add in spices and beat until all spices are blended. When your squash is cooled enough to handle, scoop out the pulp into a separate bowl and beat using egg beater or potato mashing tool. (If you have a food processor or electric hand blender, use instead for this step) When pulp is smooth and more consistent, add to your filling mix and blend until consistent. Pour mixture into the two pie shells and place back into oven at 425F for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes are up, turn oven down to 350 and bake for an additional 30-45 minutes. Test doneness with a toothpick or knife. If inserted in middle and removed with little pie clinging to metal, pie is done. Now just set it on your counter and let it cool as it warms the room with delicious aroma! When it's cooled to a warm sensation, eat it with cool whip, ice cream or whatever you choose. Warm it up in the microwave if you choose! ENJOY!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease foil.

- 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.

Tips:
- Choose the right squash: Look for turban squash that are small, firm, and have a deep orange color. Avoid squash that are too large, as they may be tough and stringy.
- Roast the squash before using it: Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. To roast the squash, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle the squash with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast the squash for 30-40 minutes, or until it is tender and caramelized.
- Use a food processor to make the filling: A food processor makes it easy to puree the roasted squash and other filling ingredients until smooth. If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the squash and other filling ingredients by hand.
- Don't overfill the pie crust: The filling will expand as it bakes, so don't overfill the pie crust. Leave about 1/2 inch of space between the filling and the edge of the crust.
- Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set: The pie is done baking when the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. The filling should not be runny. If the pie is not done baking, continue to bake it for a few more minutes.
Conclusion:
Turban squash pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for fall. The roasted squash filling is sweet and flavorful, and the pie crust is flaky and buttery. This pie is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
