SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH TURKEY & SPINACH MEATBALLS

Hello all! I absolutely LOVE spaghetti & meatballs. I grew up eating it and I still love it to this day. my mom made THE BEST spaghetti & meatballs I have ever had and I still love to be able to eat her cooking! For this recipe I tried a healthy spin on the traditional spaghetti & meatball dish. So up on the blog today is my spaghetti squash with turkey & spinach meatballs. I hope you enjoy it!

Spaghetti Squash with Turkey & Spinach Meatballs

-Meatballs-
 1 LB. Turkey burger or extra lean hamburger
1/2 C. Chopped Spinach
1TBS. Garlic salt
1 tbsp. Onion salt
2 Eggs
1/2 C. Panko bread crumbs

To start making this recipe, mix all ingredients together and form meatballs. Place on a tinfoil lined baking sheet in the oven at 375 for 35-40 minutes. ( Spray tinfoil with cooking spray before adding the meatballs so they will not stick).

-Spaghetti Squash-
2 Medium sized spaghetti squash

To begin, cut the spaghetti squash width wise into 1 inch rings. cut seeds out of center circles. Place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet at 375 for 1 hour-1 hour 20 minutes. Season the spaghetti squash to taste.

Last step: Add meatballs to a favorite spaghetti sauce over the stove and let it heat up. Take your cooked spaghetti squash off of the baking sheet and gently (using a fork) scrape out the center so that it falls out in noodles. When finished top with the meatball sauce and its ready to eat!

-Enjoy-
