Turkey Chili over Spaghetti Squash


1 pound lean organic ground turkey
1 can organic pinto beans (read the label, make sure there's no sugar! Many non-organic cans of beans have lots of additives) drained
1 can organic kidney beans, drained (again, read the label)
1 chopped organic onion
2 organic garlic cloves minced
4 chopped organic tomatoes
1 small can tomato paste

Add the following to taste:
Chili powder
Salt
Pepper
Cayenne pepper
Ground Cumin
Onion powder
Garlic powder

Brown the turkey in a couple Tb. of water. Add chopped onion and garlic and cook for a few minutes. Throw in tomatoes, drained beans and paste. Add spices, stir and turn heat down to low. Simmer for an hour stirring occasionally.

Meanwhile...scrub the outside of a large spaghetti squash. With a fork poke holes in the squash and microwave for 7 minutes. Rotate and microwave another 7 minutes. Allow to cool. Cut the ends off the squash, slice it down the middle and scoop out the seeds. With a fork scrape the spaghetti squash out. Season with a small amount of olive oil, salt and pepper.

Chop half a red pepper.

Layer your serving plate with spaghetti squash, turkey chili, and top with fresh red pepper.
Everyone will love it!

Perfect. I have a spaghetti squash on on my counter that I need to use, and I have some turkey in my freezer. I'll be making this today, it sounds and looks DELISH.
