Acorn squash is partially cooked in the microwave, then filled with turkey sausage, broccoli, cheese, rice, and apples.

Ingredients

1 (6 ounce) package broccoli and cheese flavored rice mix

1/2 cup chopped apple
2 teaspoons crushed coriander seed
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Directions

1 Prepare rice mix according to package directions; cover, and set aside.
2 Place squash halves cut side down onto a plate. Cook the squash in a microwave oven for 5 minutes on High, until tender but firm.
