Dive into the delicious world of my healthified take on the Viral Spaghetti Squash Bowl, where health meets hearty in a standout dish that's taking the internet by storm! This innovative twist on classic pasta uses roasted spaghetti squash as a delightful, guilt-free base. Topped with a vibrant medley of veggies and ground turkey, this bowl is not just a feast for the eyes but a flavor explosion that aligns with your health goals.
Topped off with cheesy goodness, it's the ultimate comfort food that still fits into a clean-eating lifestyle. Get ready to twirl into a plate that proves healthy can be beyond delicious!
I lightened this 'Viral' Spaghetti Squash Bowl up by using a lean ground turkey as the base. I also subbed in way more veggies and fat free mozzarella in place of regular. I promise though, no one will notice the small changes. This ends up being a really hearty dish, and half of one of these bowls is plenty enough filling. Especially if you’re serving with anything on the side!

- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the 4 Oz. Chive Cream Cheese, 1/4 C. Unsweetened Almond Milk, 1 Tsp. Hot Sh!t Seasoning, and Salt & Pepper to Taste.
- Once the squash is done, remove it from the oven and carefully scrape up the squash with a fork to make your 'noodles'.
- Divide the prepared turkey and spinach mixture evenly between each half and top with the 1/4 C. Fat Free Mozzarella.
- Place in the oven to bake for another 20-25 minutes or until the cheese on top has melted and it's all hot and bubbly.
