Serves: 2-3 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 small delicata squash
  • ½ Tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • 2 leftover turkey burgers (or ground turkey), uncooked
  • 2 eggs (AIP - omit)
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Pro tip: to make squash easier to cut, pop it in the microwave for about a minute.
  3. Drizzle the melted coconut oil over the face-up squash halves and sprinkle with sea salt.
  4. Place the squash face down on parchment paper and bake for 30 minutes. When it’s easily forkable and golden brown, you’re good to go.
  5. With about 10 minutes left on the squash, heat a skillet on medium-high heat with a little cooking fat. When hot, add your turkey, breaking up with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Set the turkey aside and fry up your eggs in the same pan while the squash is finishing in the oven, about 3-5 minutes, uncovered.
  7. Turn the squash over, spoon in the turkey, and top each half with a fried egg.
Notes
You can do this with already cooked burgers too - simply warm them up in the skillet or microwave for a hot second before you crumble them up in the squash. You can also substitute plain ground turkey with your favorite seasoning blend. My go-to is a dash of salt+pepper+garlic+onion powder.
