Ingredients | Spaghetti Squash Seeds Nutrition Facts

1 pound lean ground turkey

¾ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 ½ teaspoons chili powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon sweet paprika

½ teaspoon ground cumin

½ teaspoon ground coriander

½ teaspoon dried Mexican oregano

½ teaspoon dried chipotle chili pepper

¼ teaspoon cinnamon

⅛ teaspoon ground cloves

2 tablespoons cider vinegar

2 (2 1/2 pound) spaghetti squash, halved and seeded

1 tablespoon olive oil

½ cup white onion, finely chopped

1 clove garlic, minced

½ teaspoon chili powder

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon ground cumin

¾ cup black beans, rinsed and drained

½ cup fire-roasted frozen corn

¼ cup canned mild diced green chilies

1 (14.5 ounce) can Hunt's® Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes, undrained

1 cup shredded queso Chihuahua or Mexican blend cheese

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

Combine turkey, salt, garlic powder, chili powder, smoked and sweet paprika, cumin, coriander, oregano, chipotle pepper, cinnamon, cloves, and apple cider vinegar in a mixing bowl. Mix well. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour for flavors to blend.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cut squash in half lengthwise, scoop out seeds and brush cut sides with olive oil. Place squash cut-side down on prepared baking sheet.

Roast in preheated oven until squash is soft, 40 to 45 minutes. Set aside and keep warm.

Heat a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add chilled chorizo mixture. Cook and stir, breaking up lumps, until cooked through and browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Add onion and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until onion becomes translucent, stirring constantly. Add garlic and cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in chili powder, salt, and cumin.

Stir in beans, corn, diced green chilies, and tomatoes; cover and simmer 4 to 5 minutes.

Fluff spaghetti squash strands with a fork, keeping them in the shells.

Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Divide sauce among 4 squash halves. Top each half with 1/4 cup of cheese. Return to baking sheet and bake until cheese is melted 5 to 6 minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
