Kale and Spinach Pesto with Spaghetti Squash and Turkey Meatballs

Updated: Jan 30, 2023



Step 1.

Spaghetti Squash

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut lengthwise and drizzle olive oil and salt/pepper on the squash side. Bake in the oven (squash side down) for 30-40 mins. This timing may change based on the size of your squash.

Once your squash is done, take a fork and gently start scraping the squash, it will come out looking like spaghetti.

Step 2.

Kale/Spinach Pesto


Ingredients

  • 1 cup kale

  • 1 cup spinach

  • 1/2 teaspoon nutritional yeast

  • 2/3 cup parmesan cheese

  • 1/3 cup sunflower seeds

  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Directions

Combine all ingredients into a food processor and blend until desired texture.

Step 3.

Turkey Meatballs


Ingredients

  • 360 grams of ground turkey

  • 1/4 onion, chopped

  • 1 garlic clove, chopped

  • 1/3 cup parmesan cheese, shredded

  • A few stems/leaves of parsley, chopped

  • Salt and pepper

Directions


Mix all ingredients in a bowl and make 10-12 meatballs.

Bake in the oven at 375 for 15-20 mins or until golden. Then place the meatballs in a frying pan, lightly covered in olive oil for about 2-3 minutes per side until crisp.


Remove from the frying pan and set aside. In the same frying pan, on medium heat, add in your spaghetti squash and pesto. Toss and cook until warmed. Divide the pesto spaghetti squash between plates, add turkey meatballs, and top with shredded parmesan cheese.


Enjoy!
