Ingredients
  

  • 1 whole Spaghetti Squash
  • 2 teaspoons Coconut Oil
  • 1 small White Onion diced
  • 2 Carrot thinly sliced
  • 1 pound Ground Turkey
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 2 cups Broccoli Florets
  • 1 tablespoon Seasoned Rice Vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Lime Juice
  • 2 tablespoons Paleo-friendly Fish Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Coconut Sugar
  • 1/4-1/2 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper
  • 1/4 cup Green Onions sliced
  • Lime Wedges for serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Cut spaghetti squash in half and use a spoon to remove the seeds.
  • Brush the spaghetti squash with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Bake in preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until tender and the strands come away easily. Use a fork to separate the strands and scrape out of the spaghetti squash shell.
  • While the spaghetti squash is cooking, heat coconut oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add onion carrots, and ground turkey.
  • Season with salt and pepper; cook, breaking up the turkey as it cooks, vegetables are tender, and the turkey is cooked through.
  • Add garlic, broccoli, and cooked spaghetti squash.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, fresh lime juice, fish sauce, coconut sugar, crushed red pepper, and 1 tablespoon hot water.
  • Pour into the skillet, stir, and cover.
  • Let cook until broccoli is tender, and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  • Sprinkle with green onions before serving.
  • Squeeze lime juice on top if desired.
