Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the medium spaghetti squash in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, and drizzle olive oil inside each half. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then place cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast for about 30–40 minutes, until tender.
- In a large skillet, heat one tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 5–7 minutes until translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute. Push the onions and garlic to one side and add the ground turkey, cooking for 5–7 minutes until browned.
- Stir in chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the meat evenly.
- Add black beans, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and corn to the skillet. Stir and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Once the spaghetti squash is roasted, flip it over and rake out the flesh into strands. Set aside.
- Gently fold the spaghetti squash strands into the turkey mixture, stirring to combine.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the mixture and cover the skillet on low heat until melted.
- Serve warm, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges on the side.
