Turkey, Apple & Quinoa Stuffed Squash

Instructions

1. Prepare the squash – cut in half, scoop out the seeds. Coat with olive oil and roast in a 350F degree oven for 40 minutes (or until fork tender).   If you roast the squash face-up, place a small amount of Mrs. G’s jelly inside the cavity to soak into the squash while cooking. Alternately, steam the squash in the microwave (place seeded halves into a pan with a small amount of water, cover and cook on high 10-15 minutes, until fork tender).
2. Pre-cook quinoa according to directions. Set aside.
3. Heat oil in large skillet.   Add turkey and seasonings. Cook until brown. Remove from pan and keep warm.
4. Add onion and garlic. Sauté until translucent. Add apples and continue cooking until tender. Return turkey to pan.
5. Stir in jelly and cook until the jelly has liquified.
6. Add quinoa and mix thoroughly.
7. Stuff firmly into cooked squash halves.
8. Top with grated parmesan cheese.
9. Bake for about 10 minutes, until cheese has melted.
