I’ve been really into poultry lately, eating tons of chicken and turkey. I like to prepare my chicken in a very simple way, grilled or broiled…this works great for me, since I can then add grilled chicken to salads, mix and match it with various side dishes, and sometimes, just eat it by itself as a snack. However, I like my turkey a bit more…“complex”.
Last post showcased my favorite ground turkey recipe for lettuce wraps, which is still a mix-and-match sort of recipe (simple enough to enjoy it in various ways). Today, however, I am featuring my ‘Spaghetti Squash & Turkey Casserole’ turkey recipe. I like to experiment with my turkey, especially since I eat lots of it…got to keep switching the flavor up, you know? And you know what my secret is? Spices (and using various vegetables as part of the recipe, too)! Spices play a key role when it comes to switching things up and playing around with flavors. Try it.
My Spaghetti Squash & Turkey Casserole yields many servings, so you could either share it with your family and it eat all up…or cut it in small squares and place each in a Ziploc bag to freeze for later consumption. It’s up to you. Also, feel free to add the spices of your choice if you don’t like the ones I am using. Mrs Dash (spice I used) is a really good option if you want to keep sodium intake under control! 😉

I made this tonight for myself and my 4 year old daughter, and it was fantastic!! My daughter is not really picky, but up until tonight refused to try a casserole of any kind – which made life a little harder when it came to “cooking in bulk.” She had also refused spaghetti squash until she tried it in the casserole. But one bite of this and she was hooked! She even had seconds! It was really delicious, and I still have enough left for about 4 more meals! Thanks for sharing your great recipes!
