INGREDIENTS

  • Vegetables and Squash

    • 1 spaghetti squash, halved and seeded
    • 8 fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1/2 inch pieces
    • 🧅 ½ yellow onion, diced
    • ¼ cup chopped fresh basil, or to taste
    • 🍅 1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes
    • 4 garlic cloves, minced

  • Meats and Protein

    • 1 pound ground turkey

  • Seasonings and Spices

    • 🧂 1 teaspoon salt, divided, or more to taste
    • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided, or more to taste
    • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • Oils and Broth

    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 4 ounces chicken broth

  • Miscellaneous

    • aluminum foil

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

2

Coat the inside of each spaghetti squash half with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the squash, skin-side up, on the prepared baking sheet.

3

Roast the spaghetti squash in the preheated oven until the skin can easily be pierced with a fork, about 30 to 45 minutes.

4

Meanwhile, cook the ground turkey in a skillet over medium heat until browned.

5

Combine the tomatoes, asparagus, onion, basil, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well and add to the skillet with the browned ground turkey. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes.

6

Pour in chicken broth and cook until the asparagus is slightly tender, about 5 more minutes.

7

Remove the cooked spaghetti squash from the oven and let it cool until it's safe to handle. Scrape the flesh into spaghetti-like strands using a fork, while trying to maintain the integrity of the squash skin for serving.

8

Serve half the spaghetti squash in a serving dish or in the squash skin and top with the turkey-vegetable mixture.
