Ingredients
Scale
- 4 pounds spaghetti squash (about 2 small or 1 large)
- 2 egg yolks (room temperature)
- 2 eggs (room temperature)
- 4 oz grated Parmesan cheese
- 12 ounces turkey strips (roughly chopped)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Halve the spaghetti squash lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, and place flesh side down on the baking sheet. Roast for 30-45 minutes until fork-tender.
- Once cooled, shred the squash into 'noodles' using a fork.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, yolks, and Parmesan until smooth.
- Cook turkey strips in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Add minced garlic and sauté briefly.
- Remove from heat and combine shredded squash with turkey mixture; stir in kosher salt.
