Here is one of the recipes that I've been able to make with the Turkey Sausage from yesterday. I think my son was more excited than anyone because of the spaghetti squash. This recipe is so yummy and I didn't have to change that much to it. If you have a spaghetti squash and you're not sure how to use it, try this recipe. You will not be disappointed I promise you that!

1 medium spaghetti squash

1 lb turkey sausage, click here for recipe

1 medium green or red sweet pepper, chopped

1 small finely chopped onion

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning

1 1/2 cups spaghetti sauce, click here for recipe

1 1/2 cups shredded Medium Cheddar cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 400*F. Halve squash crosswise; remove seeds. Place cut sides down on a parchment lined 2-quart rectangular baking dish. Cook in oven for 30 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork.

In a large skillet cook sausage, sweet pepper, onion, and garlic over medium heat until sausage is no longer pink; stir to break up sausage. Set aside. (Make spaghetti sauce if you don't have some already made)

Preheat oven to 350* F. Scrape pulp from squash (about 3 cups). Wipe out baking dish; coat with nonstick cooking spray. Spread half of the squash in the dish. Top with half of the sausage mixture. Sprinkle with seasoning. Top with half of the spaghetti sauce and half of the cheese. Top with remaining squash, sausage, and sauce. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake for another 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Let stand for 10 minutes, serve and enjoy!
