A lighter, flavor-packed weeknight dinner that combines roasted spaghetti squash with ground turkey, enchilada sauce, and melted cheese. Perfect for a low-carb, family-friendly meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large spaghetti squash
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 can (15 oz) enchilada sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, place cut-side down on a baking sheet, and roast for 30-40 minutes until tender.
  2. In a skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Sauté diced onion and minced garlic until soft, about 3-4 minutes. Add ground turkey and cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1 can (15 oz) enchilada sauce and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes to thicken slightly.
  4. Once the squash is cooked, use a fork to scrape the insides into spaghetti-like strands.
  5. In a large serving dish, combine spaghetti squash strands and turkey enchilada mixture, toss gently to coat evenly. Top with 1 cup shredded cheese.
  6. Place back in the oven for 5-10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, swap ground turkey with black beans. Adjust cooking times and seasoning as needed.
