Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large spaghetti squash
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- Salt & pepper
- 1 large jar spaghetti sauce
For the meatballs:
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 1/2 cup mushrooms, chopped
- 1 tsp garlic, minced
- 1 tsp olive oil
- Salt & pepper
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup coconut flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Cut the squash in half, scoop out the seeds and rub the olive oil around the inside. Sprinkle with some salt and pepper.
- Place on a foil lined baking sheet and bake for 30-45 minutes, or until the flesh is tender. Remove from the oven and let it cool.
- Once cool, scrape the flesh with a fork, which will create the “noodles”.
For the meatballs:
- In a medium skillet heat the olive oil and cook the onion, bell pepper, mushrooms and garlic until soft and fragrant, around 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, mix together the ground turkey and beef. Add the eggs, coconut flour and cooked veggies to the bowl. Mix until everything is combined.
- Scoop out about 2 Tbsp of the meat mixture and form into a ball. Place on a foil lined baking sheet.
- Cook for 15-20 minutes or until the meat is completely cooked.
For the bowls:
- Divide the squash into the bowls, top with the spaghetti sauce, and add your meatballs on top!
- These bowls will keep in the fridge for up to a week.
Notes
This recipe makes a LOT of meatballs. The ones I didn’t use this week I froze in a freezer bag to use later. They will last in the freezer for up to two months!
