Actual Cooking Time: Less than 15 minutes
Number of Servings: 4
Ingredients
2 Acorn squash (about 1-1/4 pounds each)
1/2 c Chopped onion
1 tbsp Vegetable oil
3/4 lb Ground (or finely chopped) turkey
1 Large red apple, finely chopped
1 tbsp All-purpose flour
3 tbsp Soy sauce
1/4 c Seedless raisins or currants
Preparation
Cut squash in half lengthwise; discard seeds and stringy fiber. Place, cut side down, in microwave-safe baking dish. Cover and microwave on high for 4 minutes. Turn squash over and rotate dish. Cover and microwave on high 4 minutes, or until squash is tender, yet firm.
Meanwhile, sauté onion in hot oil in large skillet over high heat until translucent. Add turkey and apple. Cook, stirring, over medium heat 5 minutes, or until turkey is no longer pink. Sprinkle flour evenly over apple/meat mixture, stirring to combine well. Gradually stir in soy sauce. Cook, stirring, until slightly thickened. Stir in raisins, then immediately remove from heat. Fill squash halves equally with turkey mixture. Cover loosely.
Microwave on high for 1 minute - just to thoroughly heat filling.
