1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
1/2 medium Yellow onion (diced)
171 gm Ground turkey, lean
1 can (26oz) Marinara pasta sauce

Instructions


1. Preheat the oven to 375.

4. Add the marinara sauce, mix well, reduce to a low simmer, and cook for about 8 more minutes. Remove from heat.

5. Scoop the meat out of the spaghetti squash. Save half for another meal.

 

6. Top with half of the turkey marinara, saving the other half for another meal as well.

7. Add a handful of cotija cheese, and enjoy!
