Ingredients
Scale
- 4 Small Sugar Pumpkins
- 1 pound Ground Turkey
- 4 tablespoons Brown Butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh or 1 teaspoon dried Sage
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
- Salt and Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the tops off the pumpkins and scoop out the seeds and stringy insides, creating little bowls.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt the brown butter. Keep an eye on it; you want it to turn a beautiful golden color and smell nutty, but not burnt.
- Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until it’s translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Then toss in the garlic, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
- In the skillet, add in the ground turkey, breaking it apart with a spatula. Season with salt, pepper, and sage. Cook until the turkey is browned and cooked through, about 5-10 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese until it’s well combined. If you’re adding spinach or cranberries, now’s the time!
- Stuff each pumpkin generously with the turkey mixture.
- Place the stuffed pumpkins on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until they’re tender to the touch and slightly caramelized on the edges.
- Once they’re out of the oven, let them rest for a few minutes. Top with toasted pumpkin seeds or crispy sage if you desire, then serve warm.
