Instructions
- Set the smoker to “smoke” with the lid open for about 5 minutes. Then turn the heat up to 400F (you can totally do this in your oven too).
- While the smoker preheats, brush each squash with extra virgin olive oil and a generous amount of S&P
- Place the Squash on a baking sheet and smoke them for about 35 minutes, until golden, and tender when pierced with a fork.
- While the squash is cooking, brown Turkey in a deep pot. Drain, and set aside.
- In the same pan heat 2T oil, and 2T Butter. Cook the leeks, onions, and carrots about 10 minutes, until aromatic and the onions are transparent. Add the chicken Stock.
- Add the zucchini, garlic, turkey, and S&P and cook an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Fill each Squash 1/2 way full. Layer a sliced cheese, and fill the rest of the way. Cover with more cheese. Place back into grill until cheese melts, or broil in oven
