GREEK SPAGHETTI SQUASH BOWLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400ºF. Fill a 9×13 baking pan with 1/2 cup of water and set aside.
• Cut squash lengthwise and scoop out seeds. Place squash cut side down in baking pan with water. Bake squash for 30 minutes, or until squash is tender.*
• Meanwhile prepare the stuffing: In large skillet over medium-high heat add oil, garlic and chopped onion; stir frequently until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Add chopped bell pepper and continue cooking on medium heat until vegetables are slightly soft, about 15 minutes. Transfer to separate heat-proof bowl.
• Using same skillet on medium heat, brown turkey burger about 1-2 minutes on each side; add Greek seasonings and crumble meat as it cooks fully.
• Turn stove top to low heat; add vegetables back into skillet with turkey. Add in artichoke hearts and fresh spinach. Cover skillet with lid and cook until spinach is wilted, about 5 minutes, then stir to combine. Turn stove off.
• Once squash is done baking, flip over and scrape inside with fork so the squash strands come loose. Once bowl is full scraped, add in mixture until full and top with crumbled feta if using.
• Return stuffed squash back to oven for 5 more minutes. (You can skip this step but I prefer the feta slightly melted.) This meal can be eaten straight from the bowl. Enjoy!

• Use a fork to scrape the inside of the squash to form spaghetti-like strands and transfer to a large serving bowl.
• Heat the oil over medium heat in a very large, deep skillet (or even a large Dutch oven or pot). Add the garlic and saute until just golden, about 30 seconds. Add the shrimp and onion, season with salt and pepper and saute until the shrimp are pink and almost cooked through, about 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes, olives and oregano and saute until the mixture is hot and the shrimp are cooked through, another 2 minutes.
