Whole30 Spaghetti Squash with Turkey Meat Sauce

For the spaghetti squash: Preheat oven to 375°F. Carefully cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise (you can microwave it for 2-3 minutes to soften it first). Place the squash halves on a baking sheet cut side up. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the size of your squash, until tender. Remove from oven and let cool slightly so you can handle it. Using a fork, scrape out the strands of squash.

For the meat sauce: Brown 1 lb of ground turkey in 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Turn heat down to low. Add a large jar of marinara sauce, 1/4 cup beef broth, the juice of half a lemon, and crushed red pepper to taste. You can add a little more beef broth if you prefer a thinner sauce. Stir in 2 large handfuls of baby spinach and cook, stirring often, until it wilts.

Serve the turkey meat sauce over the spaghetti squash, topped with fresh basil, a lemon wedge, and extra crushed red pepper if desired. Enjoy!
