Ingredients
- aluminum foil
- 1 spaghetti squash, halved and seeded
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt, divided, or more to taste
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided, or more to taste
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 8 fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1/2 inch pieces
- 1/2 yellow onion, diced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, or to taste
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 4 ounces chicken broth
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
2
Anoint the inside of each spaghetti squash half with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Position the squash halves, skin-side up, on the prepared baking sheet.
3
Roast the spaghetti squash in a preheated oven until the skin can be pierced with minimal effort, typically taking 30 to 45 minutes.
4
Simultaneously, cook ground turkey in a skillet over medium heat until it reaches a browned state. Combine diced tomatoes, asparagus spears, sautéed onion, chopped basil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl and mix until well combined. Add the seasoned ground turkey to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for approximately 5 minutes. Pour in chicken broth and continue cooking until the asparagus is slightly tender, around 5 more minutes.
5
Remove the cooked spaghetti squash from the oven and let it cool until manageable. Use a fork to scrape the squash into spaghetti strands, taking care not to damage the delicate skin. Place the cooked squash in a serving dish or use it as a vessel for presentation.
6
Fill half of the spaghetti squash with the turkey-vegetable mixture, leaving room for a balanced serving.
