These recipes give stuffing some stiff competition.

Butternut squash is a fall favorite. Between all the ways you can roast it, and the various methods it can be turned into soup, there are more than enough ways to get your fix. But come Thanksgiving, the holiday that crowns most of our favorite fall foods, butternut squash gets forgotten about because the allure of all those other enticing (and less nutritious) sides is too great. Not this year.
We think the reason folks pass on the butternut for a second helping of stuffing is because this squash is often an afterthought on our favorite food-filled holiday. But if you use one of the recipes we have for you below, we promise it won’t be.
