  • 1 small yellow onion chopped
  • 3 fresh cloves garlic minced
  • 1 lb. lean ground turkey
  • 20 oz. diced tomatoes fresh or jarred, including juice

  • 1 cup shredded fresh mozzarella

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 f.
  • Slice the squash lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and discard.
  • Very lightly oil the insides of each squash halve. Season with sea salt and pepper.
  • Place the squash halves face down on a large baking sheet and bake for about 40 minutes or until fork tender.
  • Spray a large skillet with cooking oil and heat it on medium-high. Add onion and garlic and sauté for a couple of minutes.
  • Next add the turkey meat and using a wooden spoon, break up the meat until no longer pink.
  • Season with sea salt, pepper to your taste.
  • Add in the tomatoes, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, basil and bring to a gentle boil.
  • Lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes until the sauce is reduced.
  • When the squash is fully cooked, flip each halve over, use a fork to loosen the spaghetti "noodles" a bit, then divide the turkey sauce into each halve.
  • Top with shredded mozzarella and broil in the oven for an additional 4-5 minutes or until the cheese has melted and it's all bubbly.
  • Garnish with fresh chopped basil and totally enjoy!
