How to Make Spaghetti Squash Turkey Sausage Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Halve the spaghetti squash lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
  3. Drizzle the cut sides of the squash with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place cut-side down on a baking sheet.
  4. Roast for 40-45 minutes, or until tender.
  5. While the squash is roasting, brown 1 pound of turkey sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  6. Add 1 small onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 1 red bell pepper (chopped) to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until softened.
  7. Stir in 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Once the spaghetti squash is tender, use a fork to scrape the flesh into strands.
  9. Add the spaghetti squash strands to the sausage mixture and stir to combine.
  10. Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  11. Top with 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese (optional).
  12. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
  13. Let cool slightly before serving.
