Description

Ingredients

• 1 medium spaghetti squash, cut in half and deseeded (about 900g without seeds)
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• ½ pound lean ground turkey (I used 99% lean)
• ¼ yellow onion (70 grams)
• 6 button mushrooms, sliced (100 grams)
• 2 cups packed kale, chopped (100 grams)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 2 ounces goat cheese
• ¼ cup chopped parsley
• salt and pepper, to taste
• optional toppings: red pepper flakes, chopped green onions, lemon juice

Directions

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Sprinkle the flesh of the spaghetti squash with salt and pepper. Place flesh side down on baking sheet and roast for 30-35 minutes until skin gives a little when touched.
• While the spaghetti squash cooks, make the turkey mixture. Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add olive oil and let it get hot, about 30 seconds. Add onions and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add ground turkey and break it up with the back of a large spoon. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add mushrooms, kale, spices, and salt and pepper. Cook until kale is wilted and turkey is browned and no pink remains. Remove from heat.
• When spaghetti squash is done, remove from oven and thread flesh with a fork to make spaghetti. Be careful not to break the skin of the squash. Add spaghetti squash to turkey mixture along with goat cheese and mix to combine. Distribute mixture evenly back into the squash skins. Place boats back in the oven for 5 minutes, or until warmed through.
• Top with chopped parsley and optional toppings. Enjoy!
