Ingredients

1 medium spaghetti squash (2-3 lbs or 1-1.3 kg), 1 lb (450 g) lean ground turkey, 1/2 cup (120 ml) finely chopped onion, 2 cloves garlic minced, 1 tsp (5 ml) dried oregano, 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) salt, 1/4 tsp (1.25 ml) black pepper, 1 cup (240 ml) marinara sauce, 1/4 cup (60 ml) grated Parmesan cheese
