Veggie Spaghetti Squash Dinner

One healthy alternative that I make is substituting Spaghetti noodles with Spaghetti Squash.
Just microwave the squash for 5-7 minutes let stand for about 3 minutes and then scrape out the goods from the rind.
It has the same kind of texture as spaghetti but is so much more healthy!
Just top with your favorite meat sauce(I use ground Turkey see below) and you have quite the healthy dish that is very tasty!

~Turkey Meat Sauce~
You will need:
1-2 Tablespoons of Olive Oil
1/2 Onion Chopped
1 lb. Ground Turkey
2 Cans Low Sodium Whole Tomatoes
1 C. Chopped Carrots
1 C. Chopped Celery
1 C. Sliced Zucchini
1/2 C. Green pepper
1 Teas. Chopped Basil (about 3-5 leaves fresh)
Salt and Pepper to taste

Heat Olive Oil in skillet. Add onions and brown. Add Ground turkey and cook until there is no pink. Add Tomatoes, Carrots, Celery, Zucchini, Pepper (add any other Veggies that your family would like), and Basil. Let simmer for 15 - 20 minutes or until veggies are tender. Add Salt and pepper to taste.

*If the sauce seems to thin add a can of tomato paste to thinken it up.

Place on top of Spaghetti Squash and enjoy.
