I made a great dinner last night, so I thought I'd share.
Mrsbeck Spaghetti Squash:
I spaghetti squash (mine was about 3 lbs)
1 lb lean ground turkey
1 14 ounce can diced tomatoes
1 1/2 chopped bell peppers, any color (I did a mix of green and red, looked pretty)
1/2 of a large white onion, diced
2 cups sliced mushrooms
Prepare spaghetti squash: Slice in half lengthwise, microwave on high 8-12 minutes, til outer skin pierces easily with a fork. While that's m-w-ing, crumble turkey into LARGE skillet on medium high heat (electric range 7-8), and season to taste, stirring frequently. (I used Mrs. Dash, black pepper, basil, and oregano. I forgot that I was out of garlic, so used garlic powder.) Add in peppers, onions and mushrooms, allow to cook 3 or 4 minutes, stirring frequently, just till onions start to go translucent. Add tomatoes. Allow to cook, stirring frequently, til squash is cool enough to shred. Using a fork, shred "meat" of squash into spaghetti-like strands. Add to skillet, stir to combine. Check for seasoning, serve immediately.
I set it up for a big serving, because I was super hungry last night. Serving size is 2 cups, and comes out to 250 cals and 7 grams fat. I topped mine with feta cheese...mmmm!
I just had some of the leftovers for lunch...even better the next day!
