    List of Ingredients




    Weight Watchers Italian Turkey and Spaghetti Squash Pie


    1 medium raw spaghetti squash
    1/2 pound lean ground turkey
    2 tsp olive oil
    1 small onion(s), chopped
    1 medium garlic clove(s), minced
    29 oz canned diced tomatoes, undrained
    1 tsp Italian seasoning, dried
    6 oz fat-free ricotta cheese
    1 large egg(s)
    1 serving cooking spray (5 one-second sprays per serving), nonstick
    1/2 cup Kraft Free Shredded Mozzarella Cheese, or other brand

    Recipe





    Preheat oven to 350ºF. Halve squash lengthwise; scoop out seeds. Place squash, cut sides down, in a large baking dish and prick skin all over with a fork. Bake until tender, about 30 to 40 minutes.

    Meanwhile, cook turkey, stirring occasionally, in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until browned, about 5 minutes. Drain, remove from skillet and set aside.

    In same skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and stir-fry until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in diced tomatoes and Italian seasoning; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; add cooked turkey and simmer, stirring often, until desired consistency, about 5 minutes.

    Place ricotta cheese and egg in a food processor or blender and puree until smooth.

    Coat a 9-inch glass pie plate with cooking spray. Remove squash from oven and increase oven temperature to 375ºF.

    Using a fork, carefully rake stringy squash pulp from shell, separating it into strands that look like spaghetti. Arrange spaghetti squash strands in bottom and up sides of pie plate to form a crust.

    Add ricotta cheese mixture and gently spread over squash. Pour tomato-turkey sauce over cheese mixture and sprinkle with mozzarella. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes before slicing into 6 pieces.
