If you have never had delicata squash you really should give it a try! It is a slightly sweet squash with a potato texture. It is lower carb and calorie then sweet potatoes or regular potatoes and falls somewhere in the middle taste wise in my opinion. It is so good in soups, stews, or even just roasted with some olive oil & seasonings. I really like the combination of savory items with the tiny bit of sweetness the squash provides in this no fuss, super filling recipe.
Ingredients:
*6 turkey sausage (I used one that was 90 calories and 14 grams of protein per link so look for one with similar stats )
* 3.5 cups delicata squash (so much easier to buy it chopped for you already but you definitely can chop it yourself if needed. Just make sure it is in bite size chunks)
*3 cups raw spinach
*1 medium yellow onion
*4 cups fat free chicken stock
*1-3 tablespoons Tuscan seasoning (optional but delicious)
Chop up onion into smaller pieces or super small if you prefer. Chop raw turkey sausage into bite size pieces. Add everything into crock pot and cook on low for 14-16 hours or high for 8. You may be able to cook it for a little less time just make sure the sausage is cooked totally and delicata is nice and soft as cooking time may vary slightly depending on your slow cooker.
Enjoy!!
