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
