Creamy Turkey Bacon Spaghetti Squash Carbonara
A delightful twist on classic carbonara: tender spaghetti squash strands tossed with lean ground turkey, crispy turkey bacon, and a silky egg-parmesan sauce. This comforting dish delivers a satisfying blend of creaminess and savory flavors, perfect for any meal of the day.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup Spaghetti Squash (155g)
2 slices Turkey Bacon (approx. 56g total)
3 ounces Lean Ground Turkey (85g)
1 large Egg (50g)
1 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese (5g)
1 clove Garlic (3g)
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise, remove the seeds, brush lightly with a bit of olive oil if desired, and place cut side down on a baking sheet. Roast for about 30-35 minutes until tender.
While the squash roasts, chop the turkey bacon into bite-sized pieces. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving a little of the rendered fat.
In the same skillet, add the lean ground turkey and minced garlic. Cook until the turkey is browned and fully cooked. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Once the squash is tender, use a fork to gently scrape out the strands into a bowl.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg and grated Parmesan cheese.
Combine the turkey mixture and turkey bacon with the spaghetti squash strands. Remove the pan from heat and quickly stir in the egg mixture, allowing the residual heat to create a creamy sauce without scrambling the egg.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed before serving.
