Prep 10 min · Cook 45 min

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds using a large spoon.
Place the squash cut-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 40 minutes until the shell is easily pierced with a fork.
While the squash is roasting, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the ground turkey, sea salt, and black pepper to the skillet, breaking it into small crumbles with a spatula until fully browned.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until aromatic and golden.
Pour in the marinara sauce and dried oregano, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
Once the squash is done, remove it from the oven and use a fork to scrape the flesh into spaghetti-like strands.
Add the squash strands directly into the skillet with the turkey marinara, toss to coat thoroughly, and garnish with chopped fresh basil before serving.
