ingredients

Roast the Delicata Squash

01.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cut each squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a metal spoon.

Drizzle squash with avocado oil (or high-temperature cooking oil of choice) and use your hands to spread it all over the exposed flesh so that it is well-coated.

02.

Sprinkle the flesh with sea salt. Place squash cut-side down on a large baking sheet. Bake 30 to 40 minutes, until squash is very soft when poked with a fork.

03.

Make the Ground Turkey

04.

Add the avocado oil to a large skillet and heat to medium. Once the oil is hot, place the ground turkey in the skillet and brown it for 2 to 4 minutes, until it’s nice and seared.

Use a spatula to break up the meat into smaller pieces, then add the chopped zucchini, ginger, and green onion. Cover and cook 2 to 3 minutes, until the zucchini begins to soften.
