All the flavors of fall are packed into this comforting meal. Serve one half per person as a main entree, or slice into wedges and serve as a side dish. Delicata squash are usually about 1 to 1 1/2 pounds each. If you don't have any leftover rice, feel free to leave it out or replace with any cooked grain.

Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.

Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings

1 delicata squash, halved lengthwise and seeded
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 Italian turkey sausages (such as Jennie-O®), casings removed
¼ cup finely chopped celery
¼ cup finely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon dried sage
¼ teaspoon dried rosemary
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ cup cooked wild rice (Optional)
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped dried cherries
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
Brush cut sides of squash with 2 teaspoons oil. Place cut-sides down on the baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until soft, 20 to 25 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat. Add turkey sausage. Saute, breaking up into small crumbles, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add celery, onion, garlic, sage, rosemary and thyme. Continue cooking until vegetables are soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in rice, cherries, and parsley until mixture is warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes.
Turn squash halves over so they are cut-side up. Fill with the sausage mixture and top with Parmesan cheese. Return to oven and bake until cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes.

Cook's Note:

Substitute brown rice for the wild rice if desired. I usually keep single-serve precooked rice cups in the pantry to use for recipes like these that only require a small amount of rice.
