Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Roasted Spaghetti Squash with Turkey and Vegetables.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil.
Step 2
This will make cleanup a breeze! Next, take your spaghetti squash and drizzle a generous amount of olive oil inside each half.
Step 3
Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste, ensuring every bite is flavorful.
Step 4
Place the squash halves, cut side up, on the prepared baking sheet and let them roast in the oven for about 30 to 45 minutes.
Step 5
You’ll know they’re ready when the skin is tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Step 6
While the squash is roasting, grab a skillet and heat it over medium heat.
Step 7
Add your ground turkey and cook it until it’s beautifully browned, filling your kitchen with a delicious aroma.
Step 8
In a mixing bowl, combine diced tomatoes, fresh asparagus, chopped onion, fragrant basil, minced garlic, oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 9
Stir this vibrant mixture well, then add it to the skillet with the turkey.
Step 10
Let it cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to blend those wonderful flavors.
Step 11
Next, pour in some chicken broth and continue cooking until the asparagus is just tender, which should take another 5 minutes.
Step 12
The combination of turkey and veggies will create a hearty filling that’s simply irresistible.
Step 13
Once your spaghetti squash is done roasting, carefully remove it from the oven and allow it to cool until you can handle it.
Step 14
Using a fork, gently scrape the flesh into spaghetti-like strands, creating a delightful nest of squash.
Step 15
You can keep the skins intact for serving if you like, adding a rustic touch to your dish.
Step 16
Now it’s time to serve! Place half of the spaghetti squash strands in a dish or back into the squash skins for a charming presentation.
Step 17
Top it off with the savory turkey and vegetable mixture, and enjoy a meal that’s not only delicious but also packed with nutrients.
Step 18
This dish is perfect for a cozy dinner or a gathering with friends, and it’s sure to impress everyone at the table!.
