A comforting and healthy twist on spaghetti, using spaghetti squash instead of traditional pasta with a delicious turkey marinara sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium spaghetti squash
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) crushed tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Brush the inside with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Place cut side down on a baking sheet and roast for 30-40 minutes until tender.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sauté until soft and fragrant, about 4-5 minutes.
  3. Add the ground turkey to the skillet, cooking it until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 15 minutes, letting the flavors meld together beautifully.
  5. Once the spaghetti squash is done roasting, remove it from the oven and use a fork to scrape the flesh into noodles.
  6. Top the freshly formed spaghetti squash noodles with the turkey marinara sauce and give it a gentle toss. Serve it warm.

Notes

For added flavor, consider pairing with freshly grated Parmesan cheese or a side salad dressed with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
