By swapping traditional pasta with spaghetti squash and using lean ground turkey, this dish is lower in carbs and saturated fats, making it ideal for those managing diabetes or cholesterol levels. Plus, it’s packed with nutrients and flavor!

Ingredients:

• 1 medium spaghetti squash (about 4 pounds)
• 1 pound lean ground turkey
• 2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken or beef stock
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (as a healthier alternative to sour cream)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Spaghetti Squash:
   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
   • Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
   • Place the squash halves, cut side down, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
   • Bake for about 30–40 minutes, or until the squash is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
   • Once cooked, use a fork to scrape out the spaghetti-like strands and set aside.
2. Cook the Turkey Stroganoff:
   • In a large nonstick skillet, cook the ground turkey over medium heat until no longer pink, breaking it into crumbles.
   • Add the chopped onion and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5–7 minutes.
   • Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
   • In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken or beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, and cornstarch until smooth.
   • Pour the mixture into the skillet and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer until the sauce thickens, about 2–3 minutes.
   • Stir in the dried thyme and Greek yogurt. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook until heated through.
3. Serve:
   • Divide the spaghetti squash strands among plates and top with the turkey stroganoff mixture.
   • Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
