Carb-Free Turkey Bolognese with Spaghetti Squash

In a medium skillet, cook onion until soft. Add turkey and seasoning; cook until browned. Add marinara. Simmer until sauce is thick, 15-20 minutes. Place squash, cut sides down, on a rimmed glass dish and fill with about an inch of water. Microwave until soft, about 10-15 minutes, depending on the size of squash and microwave. Top "spaghetti" with meat sauce.

Preheat oven to 350°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Place the whole spaghetti squash in the microwave for 5 minutes. This softens the squash slightly, cuts down on the cooking time and makes it easier to cut.
Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds. Drizzle with olive oil and salt and pepper. Roast for about an hour or until the flesh scoops out easily.

Add olive oil to a skillet and heat until hot, add onions and bell peppers and sauté until soft. Add the ground beef or turkey and cook until done. Drain any excess fat. Add the black beans, tomatoes, corn and Zesty Fiesta seasoning; cook until heated through.

Scoop out the spaghetti squash flesh from the shell. Mix with the meat and vegetable mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stuff the empty shells with the filling and top with cheese. Place in a hot oven for 15 to 20 minutes to heat through and melt the cheese.

Place squash, cut sides down, on a rimmed glass dish and fill with an inch of water. Microwave until soft, about 12 minutes; set aside. Heat large skillet over medium heat; add bacon and cook 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low; cook until crisp and fat has rendered out, 5 minutes. Turn heat to medium and add vinegar while scraping the bottom of the skillet. After 20 seconds, turn heat back to low and add syrup; stir to combine. Add spinach, one handful at a time, stirring so spinach wilts and there's room in the skillet for more; turn off burner. Add squash and cheese; toss to combine.

Heat a large stock pot over medium heat. Add oil, bacon and onion and saute until onions and bacon are lightly cooked and browned.

Add ground beef and sausage, cook until completely browned and no pink remains. Stir occasionally to break up meat.

Add all remaining ingredients, scraping up browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Reduce heat and simmer for at least 30 minutes until flavors are well combined.

Serve with sour cream, green onions, cheddar cheese, crisp crumbled bacon or desired toppings
