1 spaghetti squash
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 clove Garlic, minced
8 ounces ground turkey or beef
½ teaspoon fennel seed, crushed
1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
1 teaspoon Dried Oregano, crushed
2 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons flax meal
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
½ batch Dairy-Free Cashew Cheese
Wash the spaghetti squash, slice in half lengthwise and bake cut-side up in a 375 degree F oven for 40 minutes, or until tender. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
In a large skillet warm the coconut oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, bell pepper and garlic. Sauté for 3 minutes. Add the ground turkey and cook until the meat is brown and onion is tender. Stir in fennel seeds, tomato sauce, and oregano. Heat through. Remove from heat.
Use a fork to scrape the spaghetti squash strands from the squash skins and place in a medium bowl. Add the eggs, flax meal and nutritional yeast. Mix until fully incorporated. Coat a 9-inch pie plate with coconut oil. Press spaghetti squash mixture onto the bottom and up sides of pie plate, forming a crust. Spread the meat mixture over the crust. Sprinkle with the cheese spread.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until bubbly and heated through. Slice into wedges to serve.
