Ingredients

– 1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cubed
– 1 pound ground turkey
– 1 medium onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 cup vegetable broth
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to prepare and cook Roasted Butternut Squash w/ Ground Turkey:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Squash: Peel and cube the butternut squash into 1-inch pieces. Set aside.
3. Sauté Onions and Garlic: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute.
4. Brown the Turkey: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground turkey to the skillet. Cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 7-10 minutes.
5. Season the Mixture: Stir in the ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
6. Add Squash and Broth: In a large baking dish, combine the cubed butternut squash with the turkey mixture. Pour the vegetable broth over the top and stir to combine.
7. Roast in the Oven: Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the mixture. Spread it out evenly in the baking dish. Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the squash is tender and lightly caramelized.
8. Garnish: Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

These straightforward steps will guide you in creating a delightful dish that is both nutritious and satisfying.
