Mexican Spaghetti Squash Casserole

So who out there loves Mexcian food? I do! I love Mexican food and really anything spicy! However, I don't like not knowing what is in my food. So I try to recreate Mexican food in a cleaner, gluten free, grain free way! Creating new recipes is enjoyable!

The other night, I was craving a spaghetti squash I went out and bought one! They are the best! They are so easy to make and prepare and you seriously can eat them any way!

So with my squash I decided to make it into a Mexican dish / casserole. It was amazing and delicious! So what did I use? I used a spaghetti squash (of course), spinach, green peppers, ground turkey, pico de gallo, and cheese. You can add more things and spices if you want to make it your own or more spicy or less. It takes about an hour to an hour and 10 minutes for it all to cook and be prepared but its worth it. Also this recipe is 21 day fixed approved!
