Thanksgiving side dish: Stuffed acorn squash with crab

Fox & Friends pardons two turkeys ahead of Thanksgiving

Fox News contributor Joe Concha and KellyBronze turkey farmer Judd Culver join in granting the first-ever turkey pardon on Fox Square.

Stuffed acorn squash with panko-crusted crab makes for a delicious Thanksgiving side dish.

“An acorn squash filled with ‘stuffing,’ this dish is quintessential fall. In fact, this dish is high in protein and gluten-free, thanks to the cheesy, gluten-free panko-crusted crab, and perfect for guests or family members who may follow a specialized diet,” says Rima Kleiner MS, RD, a nutritionist and blogger at Dish on Fish (this recipe can also be found in the National Pescatarian Month E-Cookbook “Everyday Seafood Recipes: 65 Quick & Easy Dishes“). “And honestly, it doesn’t take much to complete this beautiful dish—maybe some leafy greens and a glass of white wine.”
