Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cut the medium spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle olive oil inside each half and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for 30-40 minutes.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until translucent.
- Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional minute, allowing it to become fragrant.
- Push the onions and garlic to one side, and add the ground turkey to the other. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through.
- Sprinkle in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir everything to combine thoroughly.
- Stir in the black beans, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and corn. Let simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Once the squash is tender, carefully flip the halves over and scrape the flesh into spaghetti-like strands.
- Add the spaghetti squash strands to the turkey mixture and gently stir until well mixed.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the mixture and let sit on low heat to melt the cheese.
- Scoop into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve lime wedges on the side.
