Spicy Summer Squash Stuffing with Ground Turkey Breast

What to do with summer squash?




At the suggestion of our farmer's market friend from  On the Vine, LLC Guy Gillespie, I tweaked a stuffing recipe, added some extra lean ground turkey, and voila!  We have dinner for a couple of days!  

Ingredients:
6 oz. bag seasoned corn bread stuffing mix
1/2 lb extra lean ground turkey breast
1/3 cup canola oil
1/4 cup Earth Balance butter substitute
1/2 medium onion, diced
3 celery stalks, sliced
1 cup Italian chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1-2 diced jalapeño peppers, optional (we like the heat)
1 diced poblano pepper
6 oz. can diced green chilies
2/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes
2 large cloves, chopped garlic
1 1/2 cups chicken or vegetable broth (may need a little more)
2 summer squash, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch pieces
3 egg whites
Salt/pepper to taste

Directions:
Brown ground turkey in 2 tbsp. oil in large skillet.  Add veggies and remaining oil.  Saute' until onions are translucent.  Add stuffing and mix with veggies.  Mix egg whites and broth together.  Pour over stuffing mix and veggies.  Transfer to casserole dish and cook at 375 degrees for 45 minutes.
