1 large Spaghetti Squash
1 large can stewed tomatoes or marinara sauce (make sure it is just tomatoes, olive oil, basil etc.)
1# ground turkey breast, bison, lean ground beef (aim for grass-fed stuff)
1-2 cloves garlic chopped
1/2 onion chopped
Start with a little EVOO or coconut oil in a hot pan. Saute your garlic and onion until tender, add meat and cook thouroughly. While cooking, stick your squash in the micro for 1-2 mins. Remove and carefully cut it lengthwise. Scrap out the seeds. Place the squash on a plate with the shell facing up and the meat of the squash facing down into the dish. Add 1/4-1/2 cup of water to the dish. Place the dish in the micro and nuke for 8-12 mins depending on the size of the squash. When done, carefully (because it is hot), use a fork to scrape out the spaghetti squash. It looks just like spaghetti and tastes much better.
Once the ground meat is fully cooked, add your marinara. Let it simmer til the sauce is warmed. Get creative and add some fresh basil or hot pepper seeds to taste.
Plate up the spaghetti squash, top it off with your meat sauce and enjoy! Add a side of brussel sprouts and you are one full person!
