LEAN & GREEN MAPLE TURKEY SAUSAGE PATTIES WITH SPAGHETTI SQUASH HASH BROWNS
INSTRUCTIONS
- To prepare the spaghetti squash, cut it in half and discard the seeds and stringy pulp.
- Place each spaghetti squash half in a micro-wave safe baking dish and fill with about 1 inch of water. Microwave on high for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the center is soft and pliable.
- Prepare the turkey sausage patties while the spaghetti squash cooks. In a mixing dish, combine all the seasonings. Ground turkey should be combined with seasonings and syrup using your hands. Portion out the turkey mixture and form patties. Cook in a skillet with olive oil until browned and cooked through.
- Remove strands from the spaghetti squash skin using a fork. To make spaghetti-like strands, scrape flesh with the tines of a fork.
- Squash should be allowed to cool before being squeezed in your hands a few times over the sink to remove extra water.
- In a large mixing dish, combine the drained squash strands, scallions, garlic powder, eggs, salt (optional), and pepper.
- In a large pan over medium-high heat, cook the squash for 10 to 15 minutes in a large skillet with olive oil, stirring frequently, until golden brown.
- Immediately top with the cheddar cheese, and serve with maple turkey sausage patties.
