North African Harissa Turkey and Butternut Squash Stew Gluten Free

North African harissa turkey and butternut squash stew, a spicy dish served with brown rice.:

Serves 6.

Ingredients

2 tsp olive oil
1-1/4 lb lean ground turkey 
1 large onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups cubed butternut squash
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp coriander
1 Tbsp harissa (this will be very spicy; for a less spicy dish, start with 1 tsp harissa and add more to taste)
1 cup chicken stock (homemade or low-sodium store-bought), or water
Kosher salt and fresh black pepper, to taste
3 Tbsp chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus extra for garnish
1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tsp water
4 cups cooked brown rice

Directions

In a large, deep nonstick skillet, heat the oil. Over low-medium heat, sauté the turkey until it's no longer pink. Add the onions and garlic, and cook for 2 minutes, until the onions are translucent.
Stir in the squash, cover the pot, and cook for 1 minute. Then add the cumin, turmeric, coriander and harissa. Mix everything together, and sauté for 2 minutes.
Pour in the chicken stock or water. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and cook for 15 minutes until the squash is cooked.
Taste, and season to your liking with salt and plenty of black pepper. Fold in the parsley.
With the liquid in the pan at a simmer, pour in the cornstarch mixture, and stir to combine. The liquid will thicken slightly.
Portion the cooked rice into individual bowls, and top with the turkey and squash. Garnish with additional chopped parsley, and serve hot.

Homemade Seasonings

I found this on Pinterest. Several things I do miss about being allergy free. So happy they can be duplicated at home Make sure the minced onions are JUST onions. I personally would use kosher salt. Use raw sugar. Instead of sour cream use 0% greek yogurt. 

Homemade Taco Sauce

This is nice and uncomplicated! You know the only thing I'd change is the salt and make it kosher, other than that this recipe is clean. I haven't made it yet but I will the next time I need taco sauce! Homemade things are better!

Hough Bakery - butter cookies

Hough Bakery By  Gail Greenberg   &   Diane Rolfe Hough Bakery was an integral  part of me and my family's lives, (most people in Cleveland for that matter) I was heartbroken when they closed. I have  always remembered the cookies and doughnuts from this magical bakery. Their products were like nothing I had ever had before (and it was extra  magical because I was so little/young) I have been searching for about 30 years for something similar - no luck... but, thank goodness there are a few recipes floating around the internet! Unfortunately  even with Archie's being open, my food afflictions will not allow  me to enjoy those old time favorites. Luckily, converting is what I do and that's what this site is about so I  will switch some things  around and see how it turns out! The recipe below is just ONE of my all time favorites, please enjoy! Memories of a signature blue-and-white, string-tied cake box filled with a streusel coffee cake, hot cross buns, stick
