Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

ingredients
Meatballs
1 pound ground turkey breast or lean ground beef
3/4 cup oats (quick or old fashioned, uncooked)
1/3 cup barbecue sauce or ketchup
Soup
1 can (49 ounce size) reduced-sodium, fat-free chicken broth
1/4 cup alphabet-shaped pasta
1 package (10 ounce size) frozen mixed vegetables (do not thaw)
directions
Heat broiler. Lightly spray rack of broiler pan with no-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine meatball ingredients; mix lightly but thoroughly. Transfer to a sheet of foil. Pat mixture into 9- by 6-inch rectangle. Cut into 1 1/2-inch squares; roll each square into a ball. Arrange meatballs on broiler pan. Broil meatballs 6 to 8 inches from heat about 6 minutes or until cooked through, turning once.
While meatballs cook, bring chicken broth to a boil in 4-quart saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add pasta and frozen vegetables; return to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 8 minutes or until vegetables and pasta are tender. Add meatballs and cook 1 minute. Serve immediately.
