Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Melt the ghee or butter in a large skillet placed over medium-high heat. Sauté the butternut squash, onion, apple, celery, and garlic for about 10 minutes, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Add turkey to the pan and sauté for about 2 minutes. Add a bit more ghee if necessary.
- Add herbs, walnuts, and season with salt and pepper. Mix well.
- Remove meat from heat. The meat should still be somewhat pink. The meat will finish cooking in the oven.
- In a large bowl, combine squash, meat mixture. Add optional ingredients (pomegranate seeds, eggs, almond flour and chicken broth) as desired. Mix thoroughly.
- Put the mixture in a baking dish and bake uncovered for 30 to 45 minutes or until squash is tender.
Recipe Notes
This delicious, healthier version of traditional stuffing is a favorite in our house. It’s so complete that we often eat it as a main course, topped with a bit of gravy and a big salad.
Make this a vegan stuffing by increasing the amount of squash, apple, and nuts and eliminating the meat.
