Spaghetti Squash And Turkey Meatballs Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Halve the squash lengthwise and remove the seeds.
• Place on a baking sheet, cut-side up. Roast the squash until softened, 30 to 40 minutes depending on size.
• Heat a large, deep skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Saute the garlic and onions until translucent. Add the tomatoes and simmer on low heat, about 45 minutes. In a large bowl, combine the turkey, bread, milk, Parmesan, basil and parsley and mix well. Form into 2-inch meatballs.
• Heat a few tablespoons of vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Pan-fry the meatballs until browned on all sides. Cook in batches if needed. Transfer the meatballs to the tomato sauce and simmer until cooked through.
• Using a fork, remove the squash flesh from the skin and stir the squash into the tomato sauce. Serve the squash topped with meatballs.

Steps:

• Use a fork to pierce holes down the side of the spaghetti squash. Microwave for 5 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
• When the squash is cool enough to touch (5-10 minutes), slice the squash open, length-wise, with a sharp knife.
• Scoop out the seeds and drizzle the squash with oil. Season with salt and pepper.
• Roast the squash cut-side down for 40 minutes, until easily pierced with a knife.
• In a large bowl, gently mix together the ground turkey, onion, parsley, parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Form meatballs, and transfer to a greased baking sheet.
• Bake in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes, until fully cooked.
• Using a fork, pull the strands from the cooled spaghetti squash and transfer to serving dish.
• Top with hot marinara sauce, and a sprinkle of chopped parsley.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Season cut sides of squash with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bake, cut sides down, on a baking sheet until tender, about 45 minutes. Let stand until cool enough to handle. Scrape flesh into strands using a fork. Let drain, covered to keep warm, in a colander set over a bowl.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 teaspoon oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic, stirring, until soft but not brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Add oregano; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Divide mixture between 2 bowls.
• Stir 1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons cheese into 1 bowl of onion-garlic mixture. Mix in breadcrumbs, turkey, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper using your hands. Form mixture into 12 balls.
• Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown meatballs, turning, 4 to 6 minutes; transfer to a plate. Add remaining teaspoon oil to skillet. Cook mushrooms, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper, adding a few tablespoons water if skillet browns too quickly, until soft and beginning to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Add remaining bowl of onion-garlic mixture, meatballs, and stock; bring to gentle simmer. Cook, partially covered, until meatballs are cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Add spinach; cook until just wilted, about 1 minute.
• Divide squash and meatball mixture into 4 servings. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
