Ingredients
  

  • 3 acorn squash
  • Avocado or coconut oil as needed
  • dried Italian seasoning to taste
  • sea salt to taste
  • cayenne pepper optional
  • 1 lb mild Italian turkey or chicken sausage
  • 1 small onion finely diced
  • 2 ribs celery finely diced
  • 1 large granny smith apple diced
  • 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese optional (leave out for a dairy free alternative)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • Cut the stem end and the bottom ends (as little as possible) of each of the squash.
  • Cut them in half (they should easily stand up). Scoop out the seeds with a spoon and discard. Put on a parchment lined baking dish.
  • Drizzle with avocado or coconut oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, sea salt, and cayenne pepper if desired.
  • Bake for about 40 minutes or until soft to the fork (don’t overcook as it will lose its shape).
  • Cut casings off of sausage and saute in a pan with onions and celery.
  • Break up the sausage into small bits. When browned, add the apple and saute for 2-3 more minutes. Stir in 3/4 cup parmesan cheese.
  • Put mixture in the acorn squash and sprinkle with additional parmesan back in the oven for about 10 minutes.
  • Serve hot.

Notes

Squash should be eaten in moderation on the Advanced Plan and it is fine on the Core Plan.
