Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and prepare a parchment lined baking sheet. Spray the parchment paper with olive oil to prevent squash from sticking.
Slice the acorn squash in half vertically. Scoop out the seeds and place the squash flat on sheet, cut-side face down.
Bake the squash for 20 minutes, until it is tender when pierced with a fork.
While the squash cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan. Brown the turkey in the olive oil for 10 minutes until almost cooked through.
While the turkey is cooking, chop the mushrooms, apples and herbs.
Add the chopped mushrooms, apples, chicken stock, and spices to the pan with the cooked turkey. Sauté for an additional 5 minutes.
When the squash is cooked, remove from the oven and scoop out most of the flesh, leaving a little bit of filling in the acorn squash.
Add the squash filling to the turkey/mushroom/apple mixture in the pan and stir until completely mixed in.
Scoop the turkey/squash mixture back into the hollowed out squash and top with cheese.
Bake them at 450 degrees F for 5-10 minutes until cheese melts. Optional: broil for 2-3 minutes so the cheese gets crispy.
