Ingredients:

8 ounces peeled butternut squash, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound ground turkey
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 14.5-oz. can diced tomatoes
1 15.5-oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed
Preparation

1. Place squash in a microwave-safe bowl, cover and microwave on high until soft when pierced with a paring knife, about 3 minutes.

2. Warm oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add turkey, chili powder, cumin and salt; cook, breaking up meat with a spoon, until meat is no longer pink, 3 to 5 minutes.

3. Stir in tomatoes, bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer until tomatoes have cooked down and mixture has thickened, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Add squash and beans; cook, stirring, until warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Serve hot.

    Sounds delicious! I suggest blending 1/4 - 1/2 of the squash (or using 1/4 or 1/2 of another squash) with 1/2 of the tomatoes (or a separate can), then adding that to the chili. It will create a decadently thick sauce.
  • Sounds yummy. I can't wait to try it. Can you tell me what one serving equals? (ex: cups, ounces, etc.)

    4 servings. I just served 4 equal parts. The recipe did not come with weight. Sorry.

    ETA: I did weigh all the ingredients and that's probably what you should do.

    Oh I just made something similar the other night! But I used sweet potatoes and zucchini.

    I didn't put the tomatoes or black beans in the first time around. But we had leftovers that I turned into soup. That's when I added the tomatoes and beans (I puree about half of them to thicken the broth). I tossed in frozen corn too. Eating some for lunch at my desk as I type.
