Spaghetti Squash Bolognese---from Bob Harper!

You guys. YOU GUYS! This is good. You know how you sometimes make healthy stuff and it tastes healthy, but not in a great way? This isn't that stuff. It tastes so good!  Try it. Really really.

Spaghetti Squash Bolognese
(Adapted from Bob Harper)

Ingredients
16 ounces ground turkey breast
1 cup sliced celery
1 yellow onion, finely chopped
1 24-26 oz. jar of spaghetti sauce (I used Ragu)
4 cups spaghetti squash strands--or just use one large-ish spaghetti squash
5-6 cups chopped fresh spinach (Really, just use as much as you'd like)

Directions
Cut your spaghetti squash lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Place both pieces cut side up on a dinner plate. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 8 minutes. Let them steam/cool for another 5-10 minutes. Then use a large spoon to scrape out the strands into a large bowl. Set aside. (You can even do this step in the morning and leave it in the fridge)

Combine turkey, celery, and onion in a large pot on medium-high heat. Sauté for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally to break the turkey apart.

Add the spaghetti sauce and simmer for 20 minutes. Mix in the spaghetti squash (which will warm through from the heat of the sauce). Turn off the heat, add the spinach, and stir until wilted.

We served it with some bread on the side. Delicious!
