Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 spaghetti squash, halved and seeded
vegetable oil cooking spray
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pound ground turkey
1 (16 ounce) can enchilada sauce, divided
6 ounces crumbled queso fresco
1 (1 pound) package shredded Mexican cheese blend

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Spray insides of spaghetti squash with cooking spray. Season with salt and black pepper. Place squash, cut-side down, on the baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until easily pierced with a knife, about 1 hour. Flip and let cool until easily handled, about 10 minutes.
  • Scrape insides of squash into spaghetti strands using a fork. Spread evenly into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Place turkey in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir until browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir half of the enchilada sauce into the skillet.
  • Spread turkey mixture evenly over squash in the baking dish. Scatter queso fresco then Mexican cheese over turkey layer. Top with remaining enchilada sauce.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, about 15 minutes.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The enchilada sauce is cheesy and flavorful, and the spaghetti squash is a great healthy alternative to pasta.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover spaghetti squash. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.

I was disappointed with this dish. The spaghetti squash was watery and the enchilada sauce was bland. I won't be making this again.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use a milder enchilada sauce.

I love enchiladas, but I'm always looking for ways to make them healthier. This spaghetti squash version is a great alternative. It's just as tasty as the traditional version, but it's much lower in calories and carbs.

This recipe was easy to follow and the dish turned out great. I made a few substitutions, using ground turkey instead of beef and a low-fat cheese blend, and it was still delicious.

I'm not a huge fan of spaghetti squash, but this dish was surprisingly good. The enchilada sauce was cheesy and flavorful, and the squash was tender and not too watery.
