03 Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Slice both spaghetti squash in half. Scoop out and discard the seeds. Rub the olive oil on both the inside and outside of the squash, then place cut side down on a baking sheet. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a fork easily pierces the outside skin of the squash.
Step 2

Meanwhile, brown ground turkey in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in taco seasoning and water (add the amount of water called for on taco seasoning directions) and cook for another few minutes, until the mixture has thickened and all the meat is well coated. Remove from heat.
Step 3

In a bowl, mix tomatoes, onion, and juice of the lime to create an easy salsa. Set aside for a moment.
Step 4

When spaghetti squash has finished cooking, let cool for a few minutes. Then take a fork and scrape down the inside of each squash, creating long strands of “spaghetti”.
Step 5

Divide the ground turkey, salsa, and cheddar evenly among the four halves. Enjoy!
