Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups butternut squash
  • 2 slices of bacon
  • 1 lb ground chicken (substitute turkey)
  • 1 honey crisp apple, peeled and finely diced
  • 1/4 medium onion, finely diced
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil (sub avocado oil)

Instructions

  2. Using a food processor, rice the butternut squash until fine. Remove from the food processor and set aside. Process the bacon in the food processor until finely chopped.
