What you need:
1 medium spaghetti squash
1.3 lbs Ground turkey
8 oz Boursin cheese, garlic and herb flavored
1 cup tomato sauce
1/2 yellow onion , diced
Olive oil
Paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
How to make:
Start by cutting your spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, then place the squash face down on a baking sheet. Roast at 400°F for about 40–45 minutes until tender.
While the squash roasts, cook your ground turkey over medium heat for about 10 minutes, breaking it apart as it cooks. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika for an easy, flavorful base.
Once the turkey is cooked through, stir in the Boursin cheese until it melts into a creamy sauce. Add tomato sauce and let everything simmer together for a minute or two so all the flavors come together perfectly.
When the squash is done roasting, fluff the strands with a fork right in the shell.
Mix in the creamy turkey filling, give everything a good stir, and you’ve got the perfect cozy squash boat. Enjoy!
