1 tablespoon olive oil
2 Italians turkey sausages , such as Jennie-O®
0.25 cups finely chopped celery
0.25 cups finely chopped onion

1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.

Brush cut sides of squash with 2 teaspoons oil. Place cut-sides down on the baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven until soft, 20 to 25 minutes.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat. Add turkey sausage. Saute, breaking up into small crumbles, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add celery, onion, garlic, sage, rosemary and thyme. Continue cooking until vegetables are soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in rice, cherries, and parsley until mixture is warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes.
