We have burger night at least once a week. Having a lettuce bun isn't that much fun. It works. But there are so many other things to use! Like this beautiful Acorn Squash. Yeah, there's going to be a few burgers with a hole in the center. But get creative. You have to fork and knife this anyway. Just stuff it with some avocado or some other cool filling, like Bacon!
Ingredients
1 acorn squash, sliced and seeded
2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the acorn squash into 1/2 inch rounds and remove seeds. Drizzle each slice with extra virgin olive oil. I gave a measurement for the oil, but just use however much you need to coat the squash. I trust your judgment. Sprinkle with kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper.
Roast for about 15 minutes. Then turn broiler on high and broil just to get a little color on the squash. About 2-3 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes.
Turkey Burger
1 lb turkey, ground 93% lean 7% fat
kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper
Heat skillet to medium high. Form the ground turkey into about 4 burgers. Sprinkle each 4 oz turkey patty with salt and pepper. Cook for about 4 minutes on the first side, flip and cook about 4 minutes on the second side.
Serve on the acorn squash buns with diced avocado and a nice Kale Salad. Easy and yummy.
Use any leftover roasted squash or turkey burger in a quick Breakfast Hash with scrambled eggs the next day.
