Ingredients

  • 1 medium spaghetti squash
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup onion, chopped
  • 2 larger garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup red pepper, chopped
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, chopped (remove seeds for less spice)
  • 1/2 cup canned corn, drained and rinsed
  • 1/3 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 pound lean ground turkey
  • 2 tbsp taco seasonings (I usually add extra cumin and chili pepper)
  • cheese and cilantro (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Place full spaghetti squash in the oven on a baking sheet and cook for 45-50 minutes. Let cool completely. Cut in half and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds. Loosen up the rest of the 'spaghetti' with a fork. 
  3. While the spaghetti squash is cooking, heat olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Throw in the onion and garlic, cooking until slightly browned.
