Autumn Squash Pie
- 1 large butternut squash or 2 medium ones (3 4 lbs.)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves chopped garlic, divided
- 2 pounds ground turkey
- ground nutmeg to taste
- 3 tablespoons PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese
- 1 cup green olives, sliced
- 3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
- 1/2 cup KRAFT Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 6 KRAFT White American Cheese Singles
- 20 spinach leaves for garnish (optional)
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil.
- Peel the squash with a potato peeler or knife, remove the seeds and cut into medium slices.
- Once the water starts to boil, add the squash.
- The squash is ready when soft and tender when pierced with a knife.
- While the squash is cooking, heat a frying pan and add a 1 tsp of olive oil.
- Add chopped onion and minced garlic cloves.
- Once onion and garlic are golden, add the turkey, season to taste.
- Cook at medium, stirring occasionally, until the meat is well cooked and separated.
- Once the squash is tender, place it in large bowl and mash into a puree.
- (I mashed them by hand but you can also mash with a mixer.)
- Add a pinch of nutmeg to the squash puree (or to taste) and the PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese and mix until it forms a smooth and thick consistency.
- Add the olives, eggs and Parmesan to cooked turkey.
- Mix all ingredients well so that the flavors combine together.
- Place the turkey mixture in a baking dish.
- Add the squash puree on top of the meat and garnish with the KRAFT Singles.
- Carry the pie to the oven pre-heated at 350 F for about 7 minutes or until when the cheese is melted.
- For round shape, use a clean, circular soup plate to cut out the pie.
