This was our dinner last night- a simple twist on an already favorite dish.  The boys thought it was cool that their dinner came in a ready made bowl, and I love being the “Cool Mom”.

What you need:

• 2 small sized spaghetti squash
• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1 jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce
• salt, pepper, garlic powder, basil and oregano
• mozzarella cheese (optional)

Here is what I did:

Cook your spaghetti squash as you normally would.  My favorite method is in the crock pot.  To cook your squash in the crockpot you simply poke holes in your squash and place it in the crockpot with about a cup of water.  Then you just cook it on high for about 4-5 hours depending on the size of the squash.

I then browned a pound of ground turkey with some salt, pepper, garlic powder, basil and oregano.

Cut the cooked squashes in half.  Scoop out the seeds and shred with a fork.  Then top with ground turkey, sauce and cheese.  I left the cheese off mine and it was still really good!  Cook in the oven for another 25-30 minutes.

I let them cool for about 10 minutes.

The boys requested these again so it was a hit!

Enjoy!
