INGREDIENTS

0.5 medium spaghetti squash

8 oz ground turkey

0.25 cup marinara sauce

0 tsp olive oil

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 tsp dried oregano

2 cloves garlic

1 tbsp fresh basil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

• 2

  Slice the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds with a spoon, and brush the cut sides with olive oil and a pinch of sea salt.

• 3

  Place the squash halves cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 35 to 40 minutes until the skin is easily pierced with a fork.

• 4

  While the squash is roasting, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground turkey, breaking it up with a spatula as it browns.

• 5

  Once the turkey is cooked through, add the minced garlic, dried oregano, remaining sea salt, and black pepper, sautéing for 2 minutes until fragrant.

• 6

  Stir the marinara sauce into the skillet with the turkey and reduce heat to low, allowing it to simmer and thicken for 10 minutes.

• 7

  Remove the squash from the oven and use a fork to scrape the flesh into long, spaghetti-like strands directly into the skillet with the sauce.

• 8

  Toss the squash strands thoroughly with the turkey marinara and serve garnished with chopped fresh basil.
