Instructions

To cook Spaghetti Squash:

Preheat the oven to 350F (177C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a sharp knife, very carefully split the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Brush the inside surface with olive oil, and place face-down on the baking sheet.
Bake squash for 40 minutes, until it is easily pierced with a fork.

To make Filling:

Heat olive oil in a skillet. Add the red pepper and onions, saute until onions are almost clear. Add garlic and spinach, and saute 1-2 minutes until spinach is fragrant and bright green.
Add beans, spices, and tomatoes. Continue cooking for about 10 minutes, until the mixture is heated throughout.
Spoon the filling into each half of the spaghetti squash. Top with salsa, diced red onion, tomato, avocado, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.

Optional: Sprinkle vegan cheese on top.

Notes:

Slow Cooker Directions

Heat spaghetti squash for approximately 5 minutes in the microwave. Cut in half and scoop out the seeds. Place the squash with the skin face down inside a crockpot. Brown the turkey as stated above and put the mixture inside the spaghetti squash. Cook on low for 4 to 6 hours, or HIGH for 2-3 hours. Before serving, use a fork or bear claws to shred spaghetti squash.

Vegan & Vegetarian

Use black beans instead of ground meat.

Leftovers

Refrigerate in an air-tight container for up to 2 days. Reheat before serving.
