Baked Spaghetti Squash Pasta with Turkey Meat Sauce

I did a Spaghetti Squash a while back on here, but this is a twist on that recipe! A much healthier twist, and honestly I think it tasted better!

What you will need:
1 Spaghetti Squash
1 Lb. Ground Turkey Meat
1 White onion
1 Garlic clove
EVOO
Pepper
Portabella Mushrooms
1 tbsp butter
Spaghetti Sauce of your choice
Foil


Cut the Spaghetti Squash in half, long ways.  Remove the seeds and pulp like in a pumpkin.  Place on oven tray and cover with foil loosely.  I like to pepper mine! Bake for about 20-30 minutes (depending on size of squash) at 375 degrees.  Remove foil and bake another 10 minutes if you like it a little crunchy! When finished, let cool for about 5-10 minutes before serving.



Sauce: In a sauce pan, melt a tablespoon of EVOO, and tablespoon of butter. Add diced onions (as much as you would want) and sauté until becoming translucent.  Add in your Turkey Meat and break it up and cook.  Add in diced Mushrooms if you would like after it has cooked a bit, cook further and then pour in your Spaghetti Sauce, lower temp to simmer, and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.



Take the Spaghetti Squash and fork longways the strings out into a bowl.



Take your portion on your plate, and pour meat sauce over the squash pasta ... finish with some pepper to taste, and enjoy!
