New Recipes: Turkey

Spagetti Squash Boats

These puppies are perfect for everyone sitting at the table! What could be better than a simple-to-make, delicious, and pretty healthy meal for your next dinner?

What you’ll need:

• 2 medium spaghetti squash
• 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
• salt and pepper
• 1 onion, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, chopped
• 20 oz ground turkey breast
• 1 28oz can crushed tomatoes
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp fresh or dried basil
• 2 tsp crushed red pepper
• 1 cup skim mozzarella cheese

How to:

1. Preheat oven to 400. Cut the squash in half  lengthwise. Scoop out all the guts! Rub a little olive oil on there.(about 2 tablespoons). Place the squash halves face down on a baking sheet. Bake those puppies for about 40-60 minutes. The squash should be a little squishing and should easily pull apart.
2. Over medium heat, toss in a little olive oil, onions, and garlic. Let that saute until fragrant. Add ground turkey. Sprinkle salt and pepper on it to add some flavor. Cook until turkey is fully brown. Add crushed tomato, basil, and oregano to the pan. When sauce starts to bubble, reduce heat to a simmer. Let all that simmer until thickened (about 3-4 minutes).
3. Flip cooked squash over on the baking sheet so the skin side is facing down. Pour that delicious sauce into the center of each squash half. Top each “boat” with 1/4 cup cheese. Turn oven to broil, and cook for an other 2 minutes until cheese is melted and slightly bubbling. Keep your eye on it so as not to burn it.
4. Enjoy each and every bite!!!
