Turkey! Turkey? Who needs turkey?!



Deliciously Wonderful Baked Stuffed Pumpkin

This picture was taken very quickly before it was gobbled up. Imagine how beautiful it would look on a pretty platter surrounded by beautiful roasted veggies and all the normal holiday sides.

Turkey? Who needs turkey?!


Baked Stuffed Pumpkin

preheat oven to 350f

1 good size pie pumpkin (about the size of a normal sized head) Cut off top and clean out stringy insides and seeds. Oil the outside.

5 or 6 cups prepared stuffing, either homemade or packaged.

I used Arrowhead Mills organic stuffing (work night and didn't have time for homemade)

Saute 1 chopped onion with 2 stalks chopped celery in a couple of tablespoons earth balance(vegan margarine). Add 1 1/2 cups water and the contents of stuffing package. Toss well and spoon into prepared pumpkin, packing tightly.

Place pumpkin on oiled baking sheet and bake for 1 1/2 hours or until tender - exact time will depend on the size of your pumpkin. Cut in wedges to serve.





Perfect main dish for your holiday feast.
