Preparation Steps
- Prepare the Squash: Begin by cooking 2 lbs of spaghetti squash. Cut it in half, remove the seeds, then steam or roast until tender. Use a fork to shred it into noodle-like strands.
- Cook the Turkey: Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a nonstick skillet, cook 1 lb of ground turkey over medium heat. Break it up with a spatula until it’s no longer pink, about 7 minutes. Allow it to cool slightly.
- Mix It Together: In a large bowl, combine the shredded spaghetti squash, cooked turkey, 2 chopped bell peppers, 11.5 oz can of corn, 18 oz can of black beans, 4.3 oz of green chiles, 18 oz can of diced tomatoes, 10 oz of enchilada sauce, 1 tablespoon of chili powder, 1 tablespoon of cumin, ½ teaspoon of salt, 2 eggs, and 1 cup of cheese. Mix until well combined, reserving ¾ cup of cheese for topping.
- Transfer to Dish: Scrape the mixture into a deep 9x13 inch casserole dish. Evenly sprinkle the reserved ¾ cup of cheese on top for an extra gooey topping.
- Bake to Perfection: Cover the casserole with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until it’s bubbling and cooked through.
- Rest and Serve: Once out of the oven, allow the casserole to rest for at least 10 minutes before serving.
