Instructions

  • To prepare spaghetti squash, slice in half lengthwise and remove the seeds with a spoon. Place one half face down in deep microwavable dish filled with 1 inch chicken broth. Microwave for 7 minutes then remove and let cool on plate while the second half cooks for 7 more minutes. Fork down the sides of each half to create noodles. Season with ground pepper & basil seasoning.
  • Sauté sliced mushrooms, red bell pepper and onion in oil for 5-7 minutes or until tender. Pour in bowl and set aside.
  • Cook the organic ground turkey in oil, fennel seed, Basil, garlic, onion powder, and oregano until the meat is browned. Add in marinara sauce, 1 can organic diced tomatoes, juices included to stir. Next, add back in the mushroom, pepper and onions to cook 3-4 more minutes on medium. Stir in 2 big handfuls spinach once done.
  • Serve with spaghetti squash and other toppings such as avocado, crumbled goat cheese, fresh basil & nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor.
