2 c cooked spaghetti squash (about 1/2 large squash)
1/2 lb ground turkey
1 garlic clove, minced
2 T onion, minced
1 T olive oil
dash ground mustard
dash dried/fresh basil

Bake at 350, covered and with a little water in the pan, for about an hour OR place in a microwave safe dish with a little water, cover, and microwave for 8-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of your squash. Spaghetti squash is done when you can easily separate the strands of squash with a fork.

- Once meatballs and spaghetti squash are done, toss in a large bowl with arugula and pesto sauce.
- Serve!
