Weeknight Spaghetti Squash Tikka Masala

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Spaghetti Squash
  • Olive Oil
  • 12 ounce jarred roasted red peppers Drained
  • 4 green onions chopped
  • 10-15 ounce jar of tikka masala
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 2-3 TBSP fried onions Optional
  • 2-3 TBSP shredded cheese REALLY OPTIONAL!

Instructions
 

  • Oven at 375.
  • Cut spaghetti squash in half, lengthwise and rub with olive oil.
  • On a baking sheet with parchment paper, put squash cut side down and roast until it is fork tender. (Mine was on the smaller side so it took about 25-30 minutes.)
  • Meanwhile, brown your turkey meat.
  • In a big bowl, add the browned turkey meat, cut up roasted red peppers and green onion.
  • Shred the spaghetti squash with a fork and add it to the bowl.
  • Add about half the jar of tikka masala sauce and mix. It should be coated but not soupy.
  • Add more sauce until you get the desired consistency.
  • Put the contents of bowl into a baking dish. (Please note, I'm saying a size because it will depend on the size of your squash.)
  • If you are making this ahead of time, this is the time to wrap it up and put it in the fridge. Let it sit out a half hour before putting in the oven.
    Sprinkle with the fried onions and cheese if desired.
  • Bake for 30 minutes at 350 until bubbly. (If it was in the fridge, you may need to increase your time.)
