Saturday night’s dinner was accomplished by Jim with no fits or screams. It looked good and tasted great. Jim could not find a spaghetti squash that wighted that much so he bought 2. I actually thought that was better. I ate one, which would be the equivalent of 1/4 in the original amount. I was very filled. This is a recipe from the WW site. We exceeded the cheese as we had 4 to cover.
Ingredients:
3 1/2#, one large squash, halved lengthwise and seeded
5 sprays, cooking spray
1/2 C finely chopped onion
8 oz. uncooked 99% fat-free ground turkey breast
1 C no-salt added canned tomato sauce
2 t unpacked brown sugar
1 t chili powder
3/4 t garlic powder
1/2 t kosher salt
2/3 C low fat cheddar cheese (We used regular cheese)
2 T uncooked scallion, thinly sliced
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat the foil with cooking spray.
- Coat cut sides of squash with spray and arrange cut side down on the foil. roast until strands of squash separate when scraped with a fork, about 35 minutes.
- Remove from oven and cool slightly. Scrape all squash into strands, using a fork, leaving strands inside squash shells.
- Meanwhile, heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. coat pan with cooking spray.
- Add onion and cook 2 minutes. Add turkey to pan and cook until turkey is cooked through, stirring to crumble,3-5 minutes.
- Add tomato sauce, brown sugar, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
- Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer until thickened, about 3 minutes.
- Preheat broiler to high. Divide turkey mixture evenly between the squash bowl. Top evenly with cheese. Broil until cheese melts, about 2 minutes.
- Sprinkle with scallions
