Flatten the top of the pumpkin with your knife.
Tear up sourdough bread that's several days old into bite-sized pieces.
Brown some butter in a saute pan and saute onions, celery, garlic, and thyme. Once it's fragrant, add your chopped Hoshigaki and chestnut pieces.
Deglaze with a beer.
Add a quart of turkey stock.
Reduce by half.
Add to your torn bread crumbs.
Toss evenly until the bread absorbs all the liquid.
Stuff the pumpkin with it.
Put the lid on the pumpkin and bake in a 375 degree oven for an hour. Then take off the lid of the pumpkin and bake for another half hour to hour until the stuffing browns.
Serve in the pumpkin with the lid of the pumpkin resting on top.
Spoon into a bowl and serve with heaping spoonfulls of roasted pumpkin.
