Ingredients:
1 small/medium spaghetti squash about 2 pounds 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 pound 93% lean ground turkey 1 small red onion diced 1 green bell pepper cored and diced 1 teaspoon kosher salt ½ teaspoon ground black pepper 1 can 14.5-ounce diced tomatoes with Italian spices, drained 3 cloves garlic minced 1 teaspoon Italian seasonings of choice or a mix of oregano, basil, and thyme ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes reduce to 1/4 teaspoon if sensitive to spice 1 cup freshly grated part-skim mozzarella or provolone cheese divided Chopped fresh parsley or basil Directions: Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Roast the spaghetti squash. When cool enough to handle, pull the squash strings out of the squash's center with a fork and transfer to a large mixing bowl. The squash strings should look like spaghetti. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium high. Add the turkey, onion, bell pepper, salt, and black pepper. Cook, breaking apart the meat, until meat is browned and the vegetables are tender, about 8 minutes. Add the drained tomatoes, garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Let cook until most of the liquid from the tomatoes has cooked off, about 4 minutes, and then add the reserved squash. Cook and stir until most of the remaining liquid has cooked off, about 1 to 2 minutes more, increasing the heat if needed. Stir in 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese. There may be some liquid remaining in the pan. Lightly coat a deep 8×8-inch baking dish or 2-quart casserole dish with nonstick spray. With a slotted spoon, scoop the squash mixture into the pan in an even layer, discarding any excess liquid (some in the pan is OK—just not too much). Bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup cheese, and then return to the oven and bake until the cheese melts, about 5 to 10 additional minutes. For an extra-golden-brown top, place the casserole under the broiler for a few minutes. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with parsley and/or basil, and let rest 5 minutes. Serve hot. https://www.wellplated.com/spaghetti-squash-casserole/#wprm-recipe-container-33083

Extra virgin olive oil 1 small onion chopped (1 cup chopped onion) 4 garlic cloves minced 2 small green chiles such as jalapeno chopped 1 lb frozen or fresh cut okra sliced into rounds (or small whole okra, trimmed) Salt and pepper 1 tsp ground allspice ½ tsp coriander ½ tsp paprika 1 ½ cup crushed tomatoes ½ cup water 1 tomato sliced into rounds Juice of ½ lime more to your liking Directions Heat the olive oil in a large skillet (or pan with a lid) over medium-high until shimmering but not smoking. Lower the heat to medium and add the onions, garlic and chopped jalapeno peppers. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes stirring regularly (do not let the garlic burn, if needed adjust heat). Add the okra and sautee for 5 to 7 minutes over medium-high heat. Season with kosher salt, black pepper and spices. Toss to coat. Add the crushed tomatoes and water. Stir to combine. Add the tomato slices on top. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat to low and cover most of the way (leave a little opening at the top).

Remove from heat and serve over rice or with warm pita bread. Notes
Ingredients
4 quarts Chicken Stock 1 cup vegetable oil1 cup all-purpose flour 3 medium onions, chopped 2 ribs celery, finely chopped 3 tablespoons minced garlic 1 green bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, plus more to taste 1 1/2 pounds andouille sausage, cut into 1⁄3-inch-thick rounds 1 1/2 lb cooked chicken 3/4 lb thawed or fresh okra 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, plus more to taste 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 bay leaf 1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced 1/3 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley Cooked white rice, for serving Louisiana hot sauce, for serving Directions With the oil and flour, make a roux the color of milk chocolate Immediately add the onions, celery, garlic, bell pepper, cayenne, and sausage, and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add 3 quarts broth to the roux mixture along with the salt, black pepper, and bay leaf, and bring to a gentle simmer. Continue to simmer, skimming any foam or excess oil that comes to the top, until the sauce is flavorful and thickened to the desired consistency, and any trace of floury taste is gone, about 2 hours. Add the chicken, green onions, okra, and parsley to the gumbo and continue to simmer about 30 minutes longer. Don’t stir too much or the chicken will fall apart into shreds. Adjust the thickness, if necessary, by adding more broth. Adjust the seasoning with salt and cayenne as needed. Serve the gumbo in shallow bowls over hot white rice. Have the hot sauce at the table for guests to use to their liking. Note: In Louisiana, everyone has his or her own preference when it comes to gumbo thickness. This one is about middle of the road, which is the way I prefer it—not too brothy and not too thick. It is easy to adjust the thickness by using less broth for a thicker gumbo and/or adding more for a thinner consistency. https://www.emerils.com/129273/chicken-and-andouille-gumbo Ingredients:

Ingredients:
12 small to medium turnips - peeled Salt 2 tablespoons olive oil 3 cloves garlic - minced Freshly ground black pepper 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese - or as needed Chopped fresh chives Directions: Place peeled turnips in a pot of salted water to cover. Bring to a boil. Cook 20 to 30 minutes or until turnips can be pierced easily with a paring knife. Drain. Let cool slightly. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place the turnips on a clean kitchen towel or double layer of paper towels. Gently press each one down until it’s approximately 1/2-inch high. Let them drain for 15 minutes then carefully flip them over onto a dry section of the towel or onto fresh paper towels so the other side drains and dries a bit. Combine garlic, olive oil and salt and black pepper, to taste in a small bowl. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or nonstick aluminum foil. Place the flattened turnips on the lined baking sheet. Brush each turnip with a little of the olive oil and garlic combination. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over each turnip, gently pressing it down. Carefully and quickly flip each turnip over. Repeat with the remaining olive oil and garlic combination and cheese. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. Flip each turnip and bake an additional 15 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh chives and serve. Source: https://www.fromachefskitchen.com/parmesan-crusted-crushed-turnips/ Ingredients:
