INSTRUCTIONS
1). Preheat the oven to 425.
2). Cut the tops and bottoms of the acorn squash so that they sit flat. Then slice in half and scoop the seeds out.
3). Season the halves with garlic salt and face them down on a parchment lined baking sheet (flesh side down) and roast for 20-30 minutes until knife tender.
4). In a bowl mix the rice, onion, apple, cranberries, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper. Adjust any seasonings to taste.
5). When the acorn squash is done, remove from the oven and flip them over.
6). Stuff each one with the rice mixture and then place back in the oven for 10 minutes to brown the rice. Makes 4 halves. It goes really well topped with the Shallot Sage Gravy.

This was the main entree at Thanksgiving, in addition to the salad, mashed potatoes and pie bites! This was so delicious we made it again for dinner last night.
