Paleo Acorn Squash

Acorn squash
Ground turkey, beef, or venison
1 apple, cored and chopped
1 white onion, chopped
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt, pepper, garlic
1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Coconut oil
Brown sugar

1. Cut acorn squash in half and scoop out seeds. Preheat oven to 400°.
2. Coat the inside of each half with coconut oil. Add a dash of salt. Add a tbsp of brown sugar to the cavity of each half.
3. Bake in the oven for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, until the squash is very soft and the tops are browned. Do not undercook. When finished, remove from oven and let cool a little before serving.
4. In a sauté pan, brown meat. Make sure you add a dash of salt, pepper, and garlic to give the meat some seasoning.
5. Add onion and apple to meat. This will bring all the flavors together.
6. Add mixture to cooked acorn squash and top with a dash of cinnamon and some walnuts (optional).
