Sweet & Spicy Autumn Hash

Total Time 45 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1 (2-3 pound) butternut squash peeled and cubed with seeds reserved
  • 2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon ghee melted
  • 2 green apples peeled and cubed
  • 1 large leek sliced
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 2 tablespoons Cholula Hot Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage chopped
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper divided

Instructions

  • Place a large cast iron skillet in the oven and preheat to 400°F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, toss the squash with 2 tablespoons of ghee, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • In a separate bowl, toss the squash seeds with the remaining teaspoon of ghee.
  • Add the squash to the skillet and roast until just tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the ground turkey, Cholula, cinnamon, sage, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper in a mixing bowl.
  • Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the squash to a bowl. Lower the temperature to 350°F.
  • Spread the squash seeds on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Toast for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
  • Meanwhile, place the skillet on the stove top and bring to medium-high heat. Add the turkey mixture and cook for 7-8 minutes until brown and no-longer pink.
  • Add the apples and leek to skillet and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the squash back to the skillet and pour in the chicken stock. Simmer, gently stirring, until the stock is incorporated and mostly evaporated, about 5 minutes.
  • Garnish with the toasted squash seeds and serve with Cholula.
