  • 4 delicata squash halved lengthwise, seeds removed
  • salt and pepper to taste.

For the chili:

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion chopped
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 lb. lean ground turkey
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 15 ounces tomato sauce
  • 15 ounces black beans rinsed and drained
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions 

Prepare the squash:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Coat the squash with the olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place cut side down on a rimmed baking sheet and roast for 20-30 minutes, or until soft. Set aside.

Prepare the chili:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and cook 5-8 minutes or until softened and translucent. Add the garlic and spices and cook 30 seconds. Add the ground turkey and break up with the back of a wooden spoon, stirring to coat with the spice mixture. Cook 5-8 mintues or until no longer pink.
  • Add the corn and saute 1-2 minutes until softened. Add the tomato sauce and black beans, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer on medium low 10-15 minutes for the flavors to meld.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the cilantro and lime juice.
  • Fill the delicata squash with the chili, and serve with optional toppings if desired. Enjoy!
