Ingredients

    1 medium spaghetti squash
    1 package Jennie-O's extra-lean Italian ground turkey breast
    1 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
    1 jar pasta sauce (recommend Classico's Carmelized Onion & Roasted garlic)
    1 bag frozen mixed veggies (your preference)
    1/4 cup of shredded parmesan

Directions

Makes 8 1-cup servings.

Pre-heat oven to 375.
Cut spaghetti squash in half, scoop out seeds. Place cut-side down in casserole dish with about 1/2 cup of water.
Bake for 45 minutes. (can substitute about 15 min. in microwave)
While baking, add olive oil to very large skillet - crumble in ground turkey and cook until no-longer pink.
Add pasta sauce plus about 1/2 cup of water, and simmer.
Remove squash from oven, carefully scrape center of squash using a fork - add all of the squash to the skillet. Stir thoroughly.

Add full bag of frozen mixed veggies and enough water (about another 1/2 cup) to keep the sauce from burning. Reduce heat and let simmer (covered) until veggies are completely cooked.

Serve one cup (recommend serving over 1/2 cup steamed brown rice or 1/2 cup whole wheat pasta) with a small side salad for an amazing and filling meal!!! The new absolute favorite in our home! (NOTE - nutrition info does not include rice or salad).
