Ingredients

  • 1 small butternut squash (about 2 pounds), peeled, seeded and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces (3 cups)
  • 1 medium onion, cut in half and sliced
  • 1 can (16 ounces) baked beans, undrained
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes with Italian seasonings, undrained
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps

  • 1
    Spray 3- to 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Mix all ingredients except parsley in cooker.
  • 2
    Cover and cook on Low heat setting 7 to 8 hours.
  • 3
    Place turkey on cutting board. Remove meat from bones; discard bones. Return turkey to cooker. Just before serving, sprinkle with parsley.

  • Cut winter squash, such as the butternut in this recipe, with a sharp knife, then remove the seeds with a spoon. Peel away the tough skin with a vegetable peeler or paring knife.
  • Butternut squash, rich in color, is an excellent source of vitamin A.
  • A tossed green salad dressed with a splash of balsamic vinaigrette and crusty French rolls complete this slow-cooked meal. Low-fat frozen yogurt adds a cool, tangy ending.
