Turkey Spaghetti Squash Bake
Makes 4 servings
Cheesy, saucy, and satisfying — this Turkey Spaghetti Squash Bake is cozy comfort with a healthy twist.
Ingredients
- 2 spaghetti squash
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp oregano, dried
- 1 jar marinara sauce, I love Raos!
- 1½ cups mozzarella , shredded
- Microgreens, parsley and butter, for topping
Instructions
- Roast the Squash: Preheat oven to 400°F. Slice each spaghetti squash in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, and drizzle the cut sides with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place them cut-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for about 35–40 minutes, or until tender.
- While the squash is roasting, make the turkey sauce. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Stir in salt, garlic, onion powder, and oregano. Once fragrant, pour in the marinara sauce and simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Flip the roasted squash halves cut-side up and use a fork to gently loosen the strands. Spoon the turkey sauce evenly into each squash half and top generously with mozzarella cheese.
- Return the spaghetti squash to the oven and bake for 10–15 minutes, until everything is hot, bubbly, and the cheese is melted and golden.
- Garnish with more salt to taste, a pad of butter, microgreens and/or fresh parsley. Serve warm and dig in!
