Servings: approx 3
Prep time: 1.5 hours
Squashetti:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and place rack a notch or two above middle position. With the squash laying on it's side cut width wise to make approximately 6, 1 inch rings. Remove the seeds with your hands. Grease a cookie sheet with about a ½ tsp of coconut oil and place rings on the pan.
Place the 4 tomatoes in a glass pyrex dish. Place Squash in oven on upper rack and tomatoes on the lower rack.
Set timer for 55 minutes. Check tomatoes in 30 minutes. Tomatoes should be soft when done.
Meatballs:
In a medium saucepan, add can of broth and 1 – 2 cans of water (approximately 2 ½ inches deep) and turn on medium high and bring to a slow boil. In a large mixing bowl, add ground turkey, egg, 2 sprigs of chopped green onion, 2 – 3 sprigs of fresh minced oregano and 3 cloves of fresh garlic either minced or pressed. Add a dash of sea salt, about 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Mix together and make approximately 10 meatballs. Keep hands wet with water to prevent mixture from sticking to your hands.
Marinara Sauce:
Remove tomatoes when soft. Cut out the area where the stem was attached. Peel off the skin and discard. Cut tomatoes in half and remove the seeds with your fingers. Caution: Very hot. Run under cold water if necessary. Chop up the tomatoes. In a sauce pan on medium setting, add a tablespoon of olive oil and stir in 2 slices of chopped red onion. When onion begins to sweat add 4 cloves of minced fresh garlic and 3 sprigs of minced oregano. Stir. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired. Add in chopped tomatoes. Stir.
Remove squashetti with a fork in to a bowl or plate. Serve a spoonful of fresh marinara sauce and place turkey meatballs on top. And enjoy!
