Instructions
1.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2.
Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Place cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for 30-35 minutes until tender.
3.
While the squash is roasting, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Spray with olive oil and add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
5.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Let simmer for 10 minutes.
6.
Once the spaghetti squash is done, use a fork to scrape out the strands into a large bowl.

Transfer the mixture to a baking dish, top with shredded cheese, and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
