Using a large serrated knife, cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scrape out and discard the seeds. *Optional: We brushed on olive oil & sprinkled the squash halves with Italian seasoning to add flavor.

Place all 4 squash halves, cut side down, on a large piece of parchment paper in the microwave. If needed, place 2 halves in at a time. Cook on high power until just tender, 9 to 11 minutes. *Caution they will be hot!

Heat broiler and lower the rack to the middle position of the oven. While the squash is cooking, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add the turkey, pepper to taste, & Italian seasoning. Stir and cook, breaking apart the meat into small pieces, until it is fully cooked through and browned on all sides, about 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more.

Cook the steamable bag of broccoli as directed. Remove any excess water & chop. *You will only need approx 2 cups for filling.

In a bowl, combine the cottage cheese, Romano, ground turkey, and pepper; fold in the broccoli.

Then use a fork to scrape up most of the squash strands, leaving them in the squash. Divide the cheese mixture among the squash topping with sauce, then the mozzarella.

Broil until the filling is heated through and the top is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Enjoy!
