A low-carb comfort food dish featuring ground turkey and marinara sauce baked in roasted spaghetti squash, topped with melted mozzarella cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium spaghetti squash
  • 1 lb lean ground turkey
  • 2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels
  • 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt & black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Chopped parsley & red pepper flakes for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Slice spaghetti squash in half, scoop out seeds, and brush with olive oil. Roast cut-side down for 35–40 minutes until fork-tender.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté onion and garlic in a bit of oil until soft. Add ground turkey, cook until browned.
  3. Stir in marinara sauce, corn, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5–7 mins until thick.
  4. Use a fork to gently scrape squash strands, keeping them in the shell. Spoon turkey marinara mixture over each half. Top with mozzarella.
  5. Return stuffed squash to oven for 10 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and golden. Garnish with parsley and red pepper flakes.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen corn.
