Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 spaghetti squash
2 tablespoons oil
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
1 jar marinara sauce
1 lb ground turkey
⅓ cup parsley, chopped, plus more for garnish
¼ cup white onion, finely diced
1 clove garlic cloves, minced
½ cup parmesan cheese, grated
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

Use a fork to pierce holes down the side of the spaghetti squash. Microwave for 5 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
When the squash is cool enough to touch (5-10 minutes), slice the squash open, length-wise, with a sharp knife.
Scoop out the seeds and drizzle the squash with oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Roast the squash cut-side down for 40 minutes, until easily pierced with a knife.
In a large bowl, gently mix together the ground turkey, onion, parsley, parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Form meatballs, and transfer to a greased baking sheet.
Bake in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes, until fully cooked.
Using a fork, pull the strands from the cooled spaghetti squash and transfer to serving dish.
Top with hot marinara sauce, and a sprinkle of chopped parsley.
Enjoy!
