Thanksgiving Stuffed Pumpkin

By: CRE8IVEONE 
"My sister and I devised this recipe when we were new vegetarians looking for a Thanksgiving main dish in place of turkey. It tastes great and makes a beautiful presentation. We even take the kids on a 'Pumpkin Hunt' in advance of Thanksgiving - so much more humane than a turkey hunt!"

  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 2 (14 ounce) bags frozen chopped broccoli, thawed and drained

  3. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat, and saute the onion until tender.
