Ingredients:
- 1 medium-sized spaghetti squash
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)
To start, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Place the squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the flesh is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
While the squash is baking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces with a spatula as it cooks. Once the turkey is browned, add the onion and garlic to the skillet and cook until the onion is translucent.
Add the crushed tomatoes, basil, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the skillet and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the sauce simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until it has thickened slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Once the spaghetti squash is done baking, use a fork to scrape the flesh out of the squash halves and into a serving dish. Top the spaghetti squash with the turkey Bolognese sauce and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
This spaghetti squash with turkey Bolognese recipe is a healthy and flavorful alternative to traditional spaghetti. It's perfect for those who are looking for a low-carb option or simply want to incorporate more vegetables into their diet. Give it a try and enjoy!
