WHAT YOU NEED TO DO: 

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Spray a 9 X 7 oven safe dish with cooking spray or line with foil.
• Poke many holes all around the spaghetti squash and cook in microwave for 7-9 minutes, checking to make sure cooked, but not over cooked. You should be able to easily pierce with a fork.
• While squash is cooking, begin to brown ground turkey with garlic
• When squash is finished, slice in half, and remove insides and “shred” with a fork as you pull out the “spaghetti like” insides.

• Place approximately half of the squash in the bottom of the pan

• Drain the meat, season with taco seasoning, 1/2 cup water, and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Layer about half of the meat, followed by 1/2 cup black beans and 1/2 cup salsa.
• Repeat – squash, ground turkey, beans, salsa

• Add your favorite toppings (jalopenos, tomatoes, cheese if desired

And bake for 20-25 minutes.

AND ENJOY!

NOTE: I prepped this earlier in the day, covered with foil, refrigerated and then baked it when ready to eat.

The leftovers are great and you can adapt this to many dietary preferences including paleo, gluten free and dairy free! I’ll most definitely be including this in my upcoming 80 Day Obsession meal plans!

________________________________

To my portion fix followers;

• 4 cups spaghetti squash – 4 greens 
• 1 lb lean ground turkey –  4 reds
• 1 cup black beans –  2 yellows
• 1 cup favorite salsa – 1 purple so roughly a 1/4 purple per serving.

So this would give you 4 servings of 1 red, 1 green, 1/2 yellow and 1/4 purple
