Slice squash in half and remove seeds. Lightly coat with olive oil, and salt & pepper to taste. Place face down on pan lined with parchment paper & roast at 400 for 35-40 minutes. Squash is ready when the outside gives a little when pressed on.
Meanwhile while squash is roasting, prepare your filling. Brown ground turkey and season with minced garlic, italian seasoning, and salt/pepper to taste. Drain grease.
Add marinara sauce to ground turkey. Stir and let simmer for 10-15 minutes.
Remove squash from oven and shred with a fork. (It will look like spaghetti.)
In a mixing bowl combine squash, marinara mixture, and 1 cup shredded cheese.
Transfer mixture to an 8x10 baking dish (lightly coated with non-stick cooking spray).
Top with more mozzarella cheese (as much or as little as you’d like) and bake for 15-20 minutes in a 350 oven.
Remove from oven, top with fresh basil, serve, and enjoy!
