· 4 cups of chopped Kale
· ½ cup chopped water chestnuts
· Shaved Parmesan Cheese
Serve with Turkey Gravy or Cranberry Sause
In Large Saucepan, mix butter & chick stock. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and gently fold in Cornbread Stuffing. Let it sit for 10 minutes. While stuffing sits, cook sausage mixture.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add Sausage, celery & onion and cook until sausage is done, stirring occasionally. Add chopped Kale and continue to cook until Kale is wilted. Remove from heat and stir in Water Chestnuts.
Gently fold sausage mixture into stuffing until evenly distributed. Fill each pumpkin and top with a generous handful of cheese. Place pumpkin top back on.
