1
Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
2
Place the butternut squash halves on the prepared baking sheet, drizzle the cut sides with olive oil, and flip so the cut sides are facing down.
3
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the squash is tender. Allow it to cool.
4
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground turkey, breaking it apart as it browns.
5
When the turkey is almost fully cooked, add the chopped onion and diced red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the onion is translucent.
6
Stir in the cumin, sage, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
7
Scoop out the flesh from the roasted butternut squash halves, leaving about 1/4-inch of squash along the skin. Add the scooped-out squash to the skillet and mix everything together.
8
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
9
Spoon the turkey-vegetable mixture into the butternut squash skins, filling them generously.
10
Sprinkle the filled squash halves with shredded mozzarella cheese.

Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
