Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place spaghetti squash, cut-side down, on a baking sheet.

Step 3

Bake squash in the preheated oven until cooked through, about 25 minutes. When cool enough to handle, scoop out the strands of squash with a spoon and place in an 8-inch square baking dish.

Step 4

Cook and stir turkey sausage and onion in a large skillet over medium-high heat until turkey is browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat and stir pizza sauce, spinach, red bell pepper, applesauce, basil, garlic powder, oregano, and black pepper into turkey mixture. Spread mixture over squash in baking dish.

Step 5

Pour eggs over turkey mixture and toss egg, turkey mixture, and squash together until egg is just combined.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven until mixture is bubbling and eggs are set, about 1 hour.
