Easy Spaghetti Squash Spaghetti

There's no denying that spaghetti is delicious, but sometimes all those noodles are a little overwhelming, especially when you're on a diet or watching carbohydrate intake.

Luckily, there's a vegetable substitute; spaghetti squash.

If you've never heard of it, spaghetti squash is a kind of amazing veggie that, once cooked, falls right out with a fork in a consistency that's remarkably like spaghetti noodles. It can be found in most stores (including the Meijer in Hamilton) in the produce section along with the other squash.

It can be used in all kinds of recipes, pretty much anywhere you'd be using traditional spaghetti noodles.

This recipe is just one simple way to have some spaghetti with extra veggies and less carbs. Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 1 medium spaghetti squash
  • 1 jar spaghetti sauce of choice (pictured is Prego Bacon & Provolone)
  • 1 package lean ground turkey (I used Jennie-O)
  • 1/4 cup spinach, chopped
  • 1/4 cup kale, chopped

Method

Cook the spaghetti squash. If you've never done this, a variety of methods can be found here.

While the squash is cooking, brown the turkey in a medium skillet over medium heat.

Once turkey is browned, add the entire jar of spaghetti sauce, as well as the chopped spinach and kale. Stir to fully incorporate and continue to cook for a few minutes, until heated through.

Serve sauce and turkey mixture over spaghetti squash, as you would noodles.
