In a large skillet, saute the garlic and red pepper flakes in the remaining olive oil for 1 minute over medium high heat.
7
Then add the turkey, season with salt and pepper to taste and cook until turkey is almost cooked through.
8
Add the kale and 1/4 cup water, and toss to wilt the kale.
9
When the liquid has evaporated, remove the pan from the heat and mix in the feta and green onions.
10
Season again with salt and pepper as needed.
11
Divide the mixture between the roasted squash pieces, putting about 1 cup in the center of each half.
