About Spaghetti squash with turkey

Spaghetti Squash with Turkey is a wholesome, low-carb dish inspired by Italian cuisine, offering a nutritious twist on traditional pasta meals. The base is roasted spaghetti squash, revered for its mild, nutty flavor and ability to transform into noodle-like strands. It’s topped with lean ground turkey sautéed with onions, garlic, and a medley of herbs and spices for a protein-packed, savory layer. Fresh tomatoes or marinara sauce complete the dish, adding a touch of acidity and lycopene-rich antioxidants. This meal is lower in calories and carbohydrates compared to pasta-based dishes and is high in fiber, vitamins A and C, and potassium from the squash. Using ground turkey instead of beef reduces saturated fat, making it heart-healthier. Optional cheese can add flavor but increases fat content. Overall, Spaghetti Squash with Turkey is a smart choice for those seeking a delicious, nutrient-dense meal aligned with weight management or low-carb diets.
