Take your squash and cut in half. Since these can be hard to cut, I stick the tip of the blade in the top alongside the stem, push down and slice. Then turn it around and do the same to the other half. Much easier to get through the squash this way. Scoop out the seeds in the center and scoop the stringy bits out as well. (Don't through the seeds away though, these are yummy too.)

Take a baking sheet and place the squash face down so the meat in on the baking sheet. Place in a preheated 350 degree oven and bake for 1 1/2 -2 hours. You can tell it's done when the top of the squash starts to cave in or is soft too the touch. Take out of oven and flip over. You will be able to see that all the moisture was kept inside, by placing the squash face down. Take a large spoon and gently scoop out the meat, placing in a bowl. Put the margarine or butter in the squash and mix until melted.

This is very good with the brown sugar. It makes the squash a slightly sweet goodness.

Seeds:
Take your seeds and clean them, then pat dry on a paper towel. Place on a plate, salt to taste and place in the microwave. Cook for about 3 minutes, then take out and sift your fingers through them breaking them all apart. They will be hot! Place bake in a bake another 2-3 minutes and repeat. You'll be able to feel them drying out. When they feel dry enough try one, if it's a bit tough cook another couple minutes. They take about 6-8 minutes total.

-Eat or store in a airtight container for even a month or two.

Take your bread and cut into 1 inch slices. I usually use a mixture of white and wheat bread, sometimes add rye if I have it on hand. You can use any thing you like even buns. Save your stale bread, everything works in this recipe. Put cut bread into a large bowl.

Finely chop your onion and add to the bread. Mix pepper, parsley, poultry seasoning, sage and garlic salt together and sprinkle 1/2 over the top of bread. Pour 1/4 cup of olive oil over the top as well. Mix with your hands for a few turns, then sprinkle the rest of the seasoning on. Mix well.

Mix up about 3/4 cup milk and 1 tsp. chicken granules (bullion). This is to moisten your stuffing so while cooking it doesn't dry out too much. This is a look and feel step. If your bread is really moist you may not need it all, if it's dry you may need more. I pour about 1/2 on, mix then pour the other 1/2 on and mix again. There should feel like there is a light moisture on all the bread. You don't want too much moisture because after cooking your stuffing will be one big lump.

After stuffing is mixed stuff the turkey with it. You will have extras so I always take a large piece of tin foil, lay it out, dump the stuffing in the center and fold up the sides. make sure you scrunch them together a bit so it won't come apart in the oven. Then while your still cooking the turkey place the foil packet along side the bird and cook for about 1 1/2 hours at 325 degrees.

If cooking alone, bake at 325 for 1 1/2 hours wrapped in the tin foil or in a oven safe bowl with foil on top. May want to wrap a string around the foil on the bowl to keep the moisture in though.
