- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 10 oz grape tomatoes, halved length-wise
- 5 cups baby spinach
- 1 tbsp Earth Balance Olive Oil Buttery Spread
- 2 tbsp shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 2 tsp Flavor God Garlic Lover’s Seasoning, divided
- Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Line small baking sheet with foil; set aside.

- Heat remaining olive oil over medium-high heat in a large pan. Add onion and garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add ground turkey and separate with wooden spoon while cooking. Season with remaining Flavor God seasoning while continuing to separate turkey.
- When turkey is about 2/3 cooked through, add grape tomatoes and baby spinach. Once turkey is cooked through, add to spaghetti squash.
- Stir pesto and fresh parsley into turkey and spaghetti squash mix until coated evenly. Divide into 6 servings and enjoy.
