Southwest Spaghetti Squash Recipe

as a new wife I’m learning my way in the kitchen and Pinterest has became my bestfriend!

However sometime the recipes aren’t as good as they seem…

Last night I made this for dinner and my husband and I loved it & I wanted to share with y’all!

Southwest Spaghetti Squash

Ingredients:

Spaghetti squash

1 pound of ground turkey

1 small zucchini

1 red bell pepper

1 jalapeño

1 onion

1 can of black beans (drained)

1can of whole kernel corn

Instructions:

Microwave squash for five minutes, proceed to cut squash in half and scoop out the seeds

Salt and pepper your squash and drizzle with oil lay face down on pan and bake in the oven for 35 minutes at 425F.

While the squash is baking in a skillet mix ground turkey onions zucchini bell pepper and jalapeño together and cook until everything is tender!!

After cooking everything add in the can of corn & black beans! (Season how you desire! I went with my southwest seasoning!)

Once the squash is done, use a fork to scrape the inside of the squash to create the spaghetti like noodles, scoop your mixture of veggies & meat into your squash bowl, sprinkle with shredded cheese.

Put the squash back in the oven at 350F for 10 more minutes & then you’re all set!!

My husband added sour cream to his & im sure salsa would be great with it as well!

Spaghetti squash is not just a low-carb alternative to pasta; it's also a versatile ingredient that can be used in a multitude of dishes. When you bake it, the flesh becomes tender and easily shredded into noodle-like strands. This recipe incorporates various nutritious ingredients like zucchini, bell peppers, and black beans, adding color and flavor to the dish. Ground turkey is a great protein source, making this meal both filling and healthy. For an extra kick, consider adding spices like cumin or chili powder to enhance the Southwest flavor profile. Optional toppings such as sour cream, salsa, or shredded cheese can elevate the dish further. Perfect for dinner, this recipe not only impresses with its presentation but also ensures a hearty meal that is packed with flavors. Don't hesitate to experiment with your favorite vegetables or beans for a personal touch. Enjoy cooking and sharing this delightful meal with friends and family!

Is there any spice like taco seasoning or anything?
