I spaghetti squash! SO versatile! SO filling! SO yummy!
Ingredients:
1 spaghetti squash, cut lengthwise
1 lb. ground turkey
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp minced garlic
1/2 cup diced onion
2 celery stalks diced
1/2 cup tomatoes
1/2 cup zucchini shredded
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
3/4 cup marinara sauce
1/2 cup Italian blend cheese
Parmesan cheese
Salt, pepper to taste
1 Tbsp. Basil seasoning
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375F. Halve the squash length-wise and scrape out the seeds. Bake squash for 40 minutes face down in a pan with about a 1/4c. water. Set aside to cool. (It will be super hot for at least 5 minutes)
In skillet, first brown the ground turkey drain the fat and put that aside once finished. Then put oil in the skillet, and added the onions and celery and saute then add the minced garlic last. Then add the other veggies, tomatoes and all seasonings.
Once the squash is cool, scrape the insides, and place approx. 1/2 of scrapings in a bowl. Mix in browned turkey, sauteed veggies, and marinara sauce. Add bread crumbs and mix really well.
Stuff mixture into the empty halves of the spaghetti squash, top with italian blend and Parmesan cheeses and place in the oven until cheese melts. Watch closely so the cheese does not burn. I baked mine on 350 for about 10 min. or so just until the cheese melted.
