Ingredients

Servings
  • 3 acorn squash
  • 4 tsp olive oil divided
  • 1 Italian sausage link, casing removed
  • 1/2 cup celery chopped
  • 1/2 cup onion diced
  • 2 tbsp sage minced
  • 3/4 tsp salt divided
  • 2 cups sourdough bread cubed dried out (1/4-inch cube
  • 2 cups cornbread crumbled
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 1/2 tsp poultry seasoning
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock low-sodium (plus more if you like
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut ends off of acorn squash, so you can stand both ends up straight. Cut in half. Try to make sure to leave enough of the end so there is a bottom for the stuffing to rest in.
  2. Brush the squash on all sides with three teaspoons of olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place flesh-side down on a large, rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 30 minutes. 
  3. While the squash roasts, make the stuffing. Add sausage to a medium non-stick skillet. Set on a medium-high heat and use a wooden spoon to break it up, cook until browned. Add a teaspoon of olive oil along with celery, onion, sage and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Saute until slightly softened, 5-6 minutes. 
  4. Add bread, cornbread, butter, poultry seasoning, chicken stock, egg, hot sausage, veggies and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt to a medium bowl. Stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 
  5. Once the squash roasts for 30 minutes, remove from the oven. Use a spatula to flip the squash over, then evenly divide the stuffing between the squash. Place back in the oven for another 25-30 minutes until the squash is soft and stuffing is crisp and golden brown.
