Servings: persons

1 Turkish turban squash, halved and seeded
4 eggs
1 cup white sugar
1 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup applesauce
1/2 cup canola oil
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
2 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup sweetened dried cranberries (such as Craisins(R))

1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2
Place turban squash halves cut-side in a baking dish. Pour a small amount of water into the bottom of the dish.
3
Bake in the preheated oven until very soft, about 1 hour. Pour out any moisture that accumulated in the cavity of the squash. Let cool until easily handled, 10 to 15 minutes.
4
Scoop squash flesh into a large bowl. Mash until smooth. Transfer to gallon-sized freezer bags and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
5
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9x5-inch loaf pans.
6
Combine 4 cups mashed squash, eggs, white sugar, dark brown sugar, applesauce, oil, vanilla extract, and ginger in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until well blended, about 3 minutes.
7
Whisk all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves together in a separate bowl. Stir into the squash mixture with a wooden spoon until just blended. Fold dried cranberries into the batter.
8
Divide batter between the prepared loaf pans.
9
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour.
