    Preheat oven to 375°F.

    In a small bowl, mix together bread crumbs, cheese, and one tablespoon olive oil. Set aside.

    In an oven-proof skillet, heat remaining half tablespoon olive oil and butter over medium heat. Sauté onion and celery for 5 minutes. Add turkey, thyme, garlic, salt and pepper, cooking until turkey browns. Add squash and continue to cook for a few more minutes. Sprinkle with bread crumb mixture.
