Creamy Turkey Bacon Spaghetti Squash Carbonara
Enjoy a light yet satisfying twist on classic carbonara by using tender roasted spaghetti squash as a pasta base, with crispy turkey bacon and lean ground turkey combined in a silky egg and low-fat milk sauce. Each bite is a balance of smoky, savory, and creamy flavors perfect for a healthy meal any time of the day.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked spaghetti squash
2 slices turkey bacon
1 whole egg
1 large egg white
1/4 cup low-fat milk
2 ounces lean ground turkey
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Slice the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise, remove the seeds, and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Roast face down on a baking sheet for about 30 minutes or until tender.
While the squash roasts, crisp the turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until it is nicely browned. Remove and chop into small pieces.
In the same skillet, add the lean ground turkey and cook until it is fully browned and no longer pink. Set aside once cooked.
In a small bowl, whisk together the whole egg, egg white, and low-fat milk. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Once the spaghetti squash is cool enough to handle, use a fork to scrape out the strands into a large mixing bowl.
Quickly toss the hot spaghetti squash strands with the cooked turkey ground meat, turkey bacon pieces, and the egg mixture. The heat from the squash will gently cook the egg mixture, forming a creamy sauce.
Mix everything thoroughly and serve immediately. Enjoy this light yet hearty dish any time of the day!
