hese super easy Mexican Spaghetti Squash Boats are loaded with flavor and have quite a kick! They are healthy and packed with veggies and lean turkey!

Ingredients

• 1 medium spaghetti squash
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 cup onion, chopped
• 2 larger garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 cup red pepper, chopped
• 1 jalapeno pepper, chopped (remove seeds for less spice)
• 1/2 cup canned corn, drained and rinsed
• 1/3 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1/2 pound lean ground turkey
• 2 tbsp taco seasonings (I usually add extra cumin and chili pepper)
• cheese and cilantro (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Place full spaghetti squash in the oven on a baking sheet and cook for 45-50 minutes. Let cool completely. Cut in half and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds. Loosen up the rest of the 'spaghetti' with a fork. 
3. While the spaghetti squash is cooking, heat olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Throw in the onion and garlic, cooking until slightly browned.
