Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 large spaghetti squash (850g) cooked & shredded
- 1 medium onion (300g) finely diced
- 1.5 cups baby Bella mushrooms (120g) sliced
- 1 lb. extra lean ground turkey
- 1/4 cup chicken broth (60g)
- 8 oz. lite cream cheese (226g)
- 4.5 Tbsp roasted red bell peppers (90g) I used Mezzetta brand that came pre-cut in jar
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (112g)
- 1/2 cup fat free feta cheese (56g)
- 1 Tbsp Greek seasoning or other seasoning of choice
- 1 Tbsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a 9x13" baking dish by spraying with nonstick cooking spray.
- If you still need to cook your spaghetti squash, you can do this first. See notes for tips on the 3 best ways to cook spaghetti squash.
- In the meantime, spray a large skillet with cooking spray and set to medium heat. Add onions and saute for 1 minute then add the mushrooms and saute until they are both tender, about 8 minutes. Remove from skillet and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- Using the same skillet, spray again with cooking spray and add the ground turkey and chicken broth. Season with salt and pepper (to taste). Cook, breaking into crumbles as you go until no longer pink. Then transfer to the large mixing bowl.
- Add the cream cheese, roasted red peppers, garlic powder and Mediterranean seasoning to mixing bowl with the mushrooms and cooked turkey. Mix until all the ingredients are combined. Then stir in the spaghetti squash. Taste and add more salt and pepper if desired.
- Transfer the spaghetti squash mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with feta and mozzarella cheeses.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes or until hot cheesy and bubbly. Let cool for 10 minutes and enjoy!
Notes
How To Cook Spaghetti Squash:
There are several easy ways to cook spaghetti squash. You can bake it in the oven, cook in the microwave or air fry it. I personally love roasting it in the oven (if I have time) because I think it brings about the best flavor but truly any work! I also like to cook and shred my squash the night before if I have time to make this casserole prep even easier!
