Roasted Acorn Squash with Dates, Pumpkin Seeds and Goat Cheese

I love making this roasted acorn squash with dates, pumpkin seeds, and goat cheese on a cold night!

Roasted Acorn Squash - Throughout the fall and winter, I roast various kinds of squashes, then toss with herbs, nuts, seeds, dried fruits and cheeses.

I love coaxing the full flavor out of vegetables by roasting them. Throughout the fall and winter, I roast various kinds of squashes, then toss with herbs, nuts, seeds, dried fruits and cheeses. What a simple way to create a complex, nuanced dish!

Roasted Acorn Squash - Throughout the fall and winter, I roast various kinds of squashes, then toss with herbs, nuts, seeds, dried fruits and cheeses.
Every few months I purchase nuts and seeds, soak them in water and sea salt (to reduce enzyme inhibitors), and dehydrate them until they’re crispy. I store them in glass jars and use them in salads, sprinkle them over vegetable dishes or just snack on them. I know it’s only October, but you can start your holiday preparation early with a simple step like this.

Roasted Acorn Squash - Throughout the fall and winter, I roast various kinds of squashes, then toss with herbs, nuts, seeds, dried fruits and cheeses.
Speaking of the holidays, now is the time to order an organic whole turkey! We’ve enjoyed a pastured turkey at our Thanksgiving table for many years and I can’t even describe the wonderful taste. We eat the meat from the turkey for a couple of days and then I use the carcass to make turkey stock. Then I use the stock to make Loaded Baked Potato Soup – a family holiday-season favorite in our house.

In past years, I learned the hard way that these birds go very quickly, so don’t delay! Tendergrass Farms sells a lovely pastured, organic whole turkey and they’ve offered to give one away to a lucky reader. See the widget below to enter. Good luck!

    I'm thinking of brining it and then a slow roasting overnight.

    I am roasting a pastured turkey this year. High heat to begin, then a slower roast.
  4. Amy

    October 21, 2014 at 12:08 pm

    We like to brine ours overnight then roast for a few hours in the oven.
  5. Noelle (@singerinkitchen)

    October 21, 2014 at 12:08 pm

    I will be doing it like I have the last 4 years, brining it with lemons, thyme and more herbs and cooked in broth. SO good and falls off the bone. Thanks for the giveaway!

    Mom is preparing a fresh turkey, she does a butter and herb rub, no stuffing.
  7. Claire

    October 21, 2014 at 12:09 pm

    probably a brine
  8. Samantha

    This looks so delicious! I have to try it!
  9. bunkie

    October 21, 2014 at 12:10 pm

    We'll be starting out very early in the morning and stuff the bird with homegrown herbs and homemade bread stuffing, and slow roast it all day long!
  10. Ashley

    October 21, 2014 at 12:10 pm

    I plan on slow roasting our turkey throughout the night to save time and give me the morning to prepare the rest of the side dishes!

    Hopefully, someone else will be preparing the turkey for me!
  12. Shanna

    Stuffed and roasted!
  13. Linda

    October 21, 2014 at 12:13 pm

    I love the variations on roasting squash. Mine has always been just roast with a little coconut oil and maybe a bit of thyme. I'll definitely be trying this recipe! It would be lovely to win a turkey to go along with it!

    I would take the turkey to my son;s house and have him prepare it ... the advantage of teaching your kids to cook is when they are grown you can go to their house LOL
  17. Emily

    October 21, 2014 at 12:15 pm

    We like to put a dry brine on the turkey a few days before as it is defrosting in the fridge. We then wash off the dry brine, and can either roast the turkey in the oven like usual, or we are thinking of possibly butterflying the bird and throwing it on the grill this year.
  18. Gail

    October 21, 2014 at 12:15 pm

    I cook a pastured turkey and start early in the AM with lots of organic seasoning and stuffing, including raw butter packed under the skin for crispness.
  19. Deanne

    October 21, 2014 at 12:16 pm

    Stuffed with herbs/onion, buttered, seasoned, roasted.
  20. Jen

    Sounds great! After everything is gone, I'm going to make stock. The baked potato soup sounds great!

    I may try smoking mine this year. I'm still learning how to use my electric smoker but I think a turkey would be delicious cooked that way.
  23. Kellie

    October 21, 2014 at 12:17 pm

    I've never tried dates before - I'll have to give this a go next week!
  24. Cathy B*****y

    Am not sure where I will spending it this year, so it all depends! Love this recipe... hope to make it whether cooking myself or bring it with me! Cathy B

  27. Peggy Tornberg

    October 21, 2014 at 12:19 pm

    We will be cooking it on a gas Weber BBQ unstuffed. We do this every year and the gravy made from the juices is so smokey and flavorful. We cook it indirect and it gets so nice and brown but stays moist.

    I love squash. I am always looking for appetizing recipes. Acorn squash with dates and pumpkins seeds sounds delicious. I am going to make this recipe for Thanksgiving. Yum!

    Roasting the turkey with fresh herbs.
  30. Magda

    October 21, 2014 at 12:20 pm

    I'm not a huge fan of turkey - I will eat it cold as deli meat but don't care for hot roasted turkey. Instead, I try to make a special roasted chicken (fresh herbs, lemon, onion, garlic, etc.) or some other roast-type meat (pork, beef) and many, many sides.
  31. Laurie

    October 21, 2014 at 12:21 pm

    I brine and roast unstuffed.
  32. Sarah

    October 21, 2014 at 12:21 pm

    I've just moved, so I won't be hosting this year. I'd love to be the guest who brings the turkey, though! I would probably roast - but I'd love to try a fried turkey sometime, too.
  33. Ashlee Aleshire-Ash

    October 21, 2014 at 12:22 pm

    Well, this year is going to be a little more complicated than years past because we're going to be on vacation with my boyfriend's parents, but we've rented a condo with a full kitchen on it, so I'm thinking we'll try to do what we've done before: brine the turkey for 12-24 hours, then cook it until an hour or so before serving time. Let it rest, then cut into that baby. I really want to bring our own ingredients but I know it will be tough. I'd definitely make an exception for this beaut, even if I had to carry it in my lap! XD
  34. Hillary Empfield

    October 21, 2014 at 12:22 pm

    Very simply. I stuff it and rub butter and herbs under the skin, then season it. I then slow roast it overnight and it turns out very tender. Love me some Thanksgiving turkey!
  35. willowcat

    October 21, 2014 at 12:23 pm

    I'll be roasting a squash of my own in about 30 minutes (pre-heat in progress :) ) YAAAAY for farmers who do organic! I'd LOVE to win that Turkey! Nothing beats fresh, pasture-raised organic meat! and even if I don't win... GREAT site! :)
  36. Catherine

    October 21, 2014 at 12:23 pm

    I'll probably rub it all over with ghee and herbs, stuff it with onion and celery and slow roast it.
  37. Aime

    October 21, 2014 at 12:23 pm

    This dish will make an excellent side to our traditionally roasted turkey!

    I am going to do the traditional thing and roast it.

    I have to say, I'm not sure how I will cook a turkey this year. Last year was my first year to make one! Can you believe I've lived 36 years and only made one turkey!!! Carrie - if you have a favorite recipe or way to prepare, I would love to see a post of it.

  53. Toni Hackman

    MmMmm brining then roasting, I think!
  56. Jill

    October 21, 2014 at 12:37 pm

    Our turkey this year - we'll have a few. The first turkey feast is coming up this weekend and my sister-in-law is bringing three turkeys to feed my large extended family. I asked her to slather some butter under the skin before baking them. Mmmmm-mmmm-mmmm. Then our family will have our own small celebration in November and I haven't decided yet how to prepare that turkey. Slow cooker? Most likely.

    Hi. I am so sorry if this is redundant. I tried to post two other times but got an error message! I have never cooked a pastured turkey. If i win, I will roast it in the oven with butter and rosemary and bathe it in chardonnay. Makes a very yummy, moist turkey!! My second time ever (first for parents and inlaws)... My dad has always done the turkey so im a bit scared... Breaking a 40 year tradition and getting to cook for my family!

    Most likely, I'll roast the turkey in the oven. Depending on the size of the bird, I have considered trying to grill it to free up the oven.

    Hi !! Would absolutely love to try this turkey lurkey !!!! My family enjoys organic...both daughters are following suit (so nice to eat this way beginning young!) ~ YUMMY ~ ! ! ! !
  90. Rachael @ Love Yourself Green

    October 21, 2014 at 1:21 pm

    First, yummy recipe in this post! Second, I won't be preparing a turkey this year (unless I win this one!) because I haven't wanted to spend the $$ on an organic turkey yet. I will, however, probably be brining and roasting a whole, organic chicken for my own Thanksgiving meal, though. I always take my own food to eat at family gatherings so that I don't have to compromise my diet. :)
  91. Carol L

    October 21, 2014 at 1:22 pm

    This recipe (along with the soup recipe) looks so delicious! I'll be doing a simple roasting if we have turkey this year. Thanks to both you and Tendergrass Farms for such a wonderful giveaway!

    Slathering it in butter, sprinkling on salt and herbs, and shutting the oven door for a few hours! Easy, peasy, good.

    October 21, 2014 at 2:01 pm

    Our Thanksgiving is a big family reunion so we usually need two turkeys! Lately we have been deep frying our turkeys outside - it doesn't take too long and it frees the oven up for other dishes. I have been wanting to try Tendergrass turkeys for a couple of years now. Thank you for this opportunity!
  110. jenjenk

    My super technical style of preparing thanksgiving this year is making my mom do the turkey, my brother does the gravy, other brother takes care of the apps, friend brings dessert and I do the sides!

    I plan on preparing my turkey by filling the cavity with apples and oranges for a subtle tangy flavor, along with rosemary and thyme. Then I plan to place it in a roasting pan along with a standard mirepoix, and covering the turkey skin with a rosemary and thyme butter mixture! Finally, off to roasting it goes! While roasting, I plan to periodically scoop the juices developed in the pan and cover the turkey with them! Use this recipe every year and it comes out wonderfully!

    We will be having Thanksgiving in my daughter's new house, it's her first & was a blessing from the Lord!! I will be cooking the turkey. I usually season it the night before and then roast it in the oven. Would love to be able to try one of these organic turkeys.

    October 21, 2014 at 2:12 pm

    My favorite way to enjoy turkey is by brining it prior to cooking. So moist! I'd also like for my husband to smoke a turkey in his smoker sometime!

    It would be great if I could bring an organic turkey to my parents. Then my mother still enjoys cooking for the whole family. Last, we would enjoy lots of wild rice soup from the homemade stock. Cozy and delish!

    I use butter or maybe this year ghee, both under and over the skin, particularly under the skin of the breast. I mix it with spices first and use my hands. The challenge this year is to do a gluten free, corn free stuffing...

Your web site is amazing and I not only believe but know, through all your hard work/efforts that you have helped so many of us.

    October 21, 2014 at 4:09 pm

    Okay ladies, what does brine mean? I also saw someone post about a turkey with no stuffing?! A dream come true!!! I always thought stuffing was the reason the turkey would dry out faster which causes one to have to baste more. I love following the recipes and blogs! Thank you for your inspiration Carrie, I am going through a lot of change in the way I eat, and this helps a bunch!!
  145. Cathy B.

    I plan on roasting my turkey in an oven browning bag. I am disabled and cannot roast in such a way that the oven gets dirty as I cannot clean it. I hope to have help getting the bird in and then out of the oven. Bon apetit!

      I have lots of recipes that you can make ahead of time! Check out my grain-free pecan and pumpkin pies (the dough can be made weeks ahead and frozen and the fillings can be made a day or two ahead and stored in the fridge until ready to bake). My sweet potato casserole can also be made a day ahead. I also have recipes for green beans and other veg. If you do a little each day the few days prior, you can pull it off without it feeling like a huge task. I hope that helps! :)

    I love Thanksgiving, plain and simple! Last year was my first try at doing dinner. My husband just came back from deployment and hated the idea of traveling. I think it came out just like my parents dinner that I've grown accustomed to, so I was excited!! ( just a quick dry off of the skin, and rub of oil, salt and pepper) This year, I might change up the veggies. A roasted root veggie medley, green beans, and my warm apple slaw sounds like they'll hit the spot.

    As a tradition, my husband and I brine and smoke the legs and wings of a turkey, freeze the remaining meat in mince or chunk or whole breast form, and then make stock from the bones! This will be the first year we have guests (his parents), so we'll need to break down two whole turkeys! Should be interesting... would love to try an organic bird. Cheers.

    October 22, 2014 at 9:49 am

    And... about the turkey... we roast ours, always, seasoned in the cavities but not stuffed tight [salt, sage, rosemary, only a little thyme, then fresh parsley, celery and onion chunks]... high heat for the first hour [425] then down [375 or 350] til done. We cook as large a turkey as we can get because we love it SO so much. When the meal is done we remove all the turkey meat left and then start a stock pot with the carcass... best best soup stock ever.

    We usually do Chicken but will consider turkey with these ideas!

    I will be hosting at my home this year, Lord willing, and usually roast the turkey ahead of time! Works great to reduce the last-minute stress...serve the deboned turkey meat by keeping it warm in a crockpot and drizzled with the turkey juices. Would LOVE to win a pastured turkey!!

    I have lots of sqush. That's for the ideas. Look forward to trying them out.

    I'll be brining it overnight, and then roasting it in a convection oven on high heat - got my fingers crossed for a brown and juicy bird this year!

    I've dry brined whole chickens before, and I think I'll try it with the turkey this year.

    The first 15 on very high heat then low and slow! Would love to have a try at roasting a "healthy bird"!

    I'm hosting my whole family this year in my brand new house. I'd love a pastured turkey! Yum!!

    I would love to win this turkey! My brother, sister -n- law and my nephews and niece are coming from out of state and we are hosting Thanksgiving. We have been switching to organic as much as possible and this would be a fantastic meal for all of us!
  239. Kathy

    October 22, 2014 at 8:54 pm

    Really would enjoy trying out a "healthy turkey" and all the leftovers!! Will cook on a very high heat for a short time and then low and slow.
  240. Michelle

    October 22, 2014 at 10:21 pm

    We might be moving the day after Thanksgiving so there might not be a turkey:/
  241. Sue Mosack

    October 22, 2014 at 11:18 pm

    I usually use a butter & herb rub under the skin and inside the turkey. I might use my pork rind/sausage/apple stuffing again this year....but I think my 16yo daughter has other ideas, so I might just let her do the stuffing!

    I plan on slow-roasting my turkey, and then making bone broth with the left-overs! Thanks so much for the giveaway and for all your help and hard work. You have no idea how much of an impact you've had on me in the way I think about things in the kitchen.

    I do not know yet. I ordered one from the farm we get raw milk from. The best tasting Thanksgiving turkey I have ever had was prepared with a sous vide slow cooker. I'm not sure though that using that method is good since it involves cooking in a vacuum sealed bag!
  244. Sarah Dymond

    October 23, 2014 at 4:59 am

    I'm going to roast it full of citrus!! My favorite way to have poultry!
  245. Mary Beth

    Thanks for this awesome giveaway, we've always wanted to try organic turkey for Thanksgiving!

    I love to brine my turkey overnight and then smoke it. It turns out so flavorful and tender.
  247. sgl

    October 23, 2014 at 8:33 am

    Bake with lots of butter, salt, and Toni's!!! I do use a Reynold's Baking Bag. I also roast my turkey breast down!
  248. Samantha

    October 23, 2014 at 5:33 pm

    I honestly haven't even thought about Thanksgiving yet....I'm still catching up with Halloween costumes for my kids....but probably will do a nice roast Turkey with lots of veggies.
  249. Amie

    October 24, 2014 at 6:49 am

    Roast with dressing

    Looks delicious!

    We roast our turkey with plenty of my mom's 60 year old recipe for dressing on the side.
  252. Lisa

    October 24, 2014 at 2:19 pm

    We've had organic birds the past 2 Thanksgiving's and we have noticed such a difference. I've heard great things about Tendergrass Farms, so this would be a treat. We brine our turkey, then roast it slow.
  253. Chris

    October 24, 2014 at 9:16 pm

    Stuffed and roasted - We warm the stuffing further to make sure it is thoroughly cooked. I think the stuffing this year will be homemade herb-ed croutons. herbs via of our organic garden :)
  254. Melinda

    October 25, 2014 at 11:02 am

    So many yummy ways to choose from, but I think roasted with garlic and herbs from our garden!
  255. Bree

    October 25, 2014 at 5:32 pm

    This year I am going to try a dry brine. And then do a garlic herb butter under the skin.

    I will be roasting a fresh Amish country turkey in the oven this year!

    I'd love to try brining. We've never done that. But the adult kids are voting for Cajun fried.
  259. Lauri

    October 26, 2014 at 1:24 pm

    Brining is the best! Nothing makes for a juicier bird and better leftovers. :)

    I will be eating what is prepared by others since I will be traveling.

    I always brine my turkey and it comes out so juicy and tender. It is the secret to a perfect meal and works with chicken as well.
  262. Megan

    October 27, 2014 at 9:56 am

    We'll be getting a local turkey from a neighboring farm and doing a long roast.

    I just made this with a butternut squash. It was sooooo good! Might be on the T'giving menu. Thank you!!

    I just had a comment too that I want to ad about your website: The pics included in your recipes are just perfect. They actually makes my mouth water and craving for what ingredients imaging the completion so intense that I can just about taste what I am seeing. You've done a terrific service in helping us newcomers to organics and grain free by sharing your knowledge and recipes along with the pics that I for one am returning daily to try many of your recipes. Thanks again. . Have a safe, happy and healthy holiday season. Louise PS. I have forwarded your website to my many family and friends also looking to go organic and grain and/or gluten free!
