Ingredients

24 Slow Cooker Turkey Meatballs
4 Delicata Squash
1 tbsp Avocado Oil
½ cup mozzarella cheese optional

Instructions

Make Slow Cooker Turkey Meatballs
When you have 30 minutes of the turkey meatballs cooking, preheat the oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with foil and grease foil. Wash and dry delicata squash. Cut off the stem end and then cut the delicata squash in half (lengthways) and remove the seeds. Place face down on a baking sheet and bake them until tender, about 20 minutes.
When delicata squash is done, fill each boat with 3-4 slow cooker turkey meatballs.

Notes

*I think you should make my Crockpot Turkey Meatballs, because they are bomb AF. Yep, that good! But, if you don't want to pull out the crockpot then you can use any meatball (turkey, beef, chicken, etc) tossed with about 2 cups of your favorite marinara sauce.
