Method

6 steps Oven 425°F 15 min prep · 68 min cook

Cook

Step 1. Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Rub Spaghetti Squash with half the Olive Oil and half the Salt. Place cut-side down on a parchment-lined sheet pan and roast until a fork easily pierces the flesh, about 40 minutes.
Step 2. Meanwhile, heat the rest of the Olive Oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook Onion, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes.
Step 3. Add Ground Turkey and cook over medium-high heat, breaking it up, until no pink remains, about 7 minutes.
Step 4. Stir in Garlic and Oregano and cook over medium heat until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 5. Add Canned Tomatoes, the rest of the Salt, and Black Pepper. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the turkey is cooked through, about 15 minutes.

Finish & serve

Step 6. Let the squash cool until easy to handle, then scrape the flesh into strands with a fork. Divide among plates, spoon the sauce over it, and top with Parmesan.
