Just made this fabulous casserole! We really enjoyed & will make it again for sure! The only change I made was ground chuck rather than turkey. I wasn't able to locate Queso Fresca at either of the two grocery stores where I shop so I just omitted it. Next time I will go somewhere that I know I can buy it. But it was wonderful!
This was so good will definitely make again. Didn't have queso fresco so did without. I did substitute ground beef for the turkey also added crushed tortilla chips to soak up some of the liquid also tossed the strands of squash with Mexican seasoning before adding the meat and sauce. Served with cheese quesadillas. Husband loved it.
Used ground beef instead but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. The flavor is great - the enchilada sauce adds some spiciness. I wouldn't change anything about this recipe. It was great!
Thought this was very good & will definitely make again. Think it is much healthier using spaghetti squash instead of corn tortillas. I try to follow a recipe exactly as written the first time I make it but always use veggie crumbles when it calls for ground turkey or beef.
This has become one of our favorite meals and I've prepared it 10+ times. I agree with other reviewers that it's very bland. I've started using only one squash and adding 2 tbs unsalted taco seasoning to the meat. I also add half a sautéed onion simmered for a few minutes with Rotel (drained), two tbs taco seasoning, and 1/2 cup geek yogurt to the squash (stirred together). I use lots of sharp cheddar and serve with sour cream.
Tasty dish.. nice use of spaghetti squash. My only issue was seasoning There was this top layer with all sorts of flavor on top of pretty bland spaghetti squash. Next time I will toss the cooked spaghetti squash with some seasonings when I put it in the 13X9 pan - at least salt and pepper.. maybe cumin. garlic or chili as well.
I made a lot of changes that are reflected in this review. I don't think we would have liked it much had I not made the changes. Like most of the other reviewers I used ground beef instead of turkey. Instead of using sauce in the meat I threw in a little bit of stewed tomato a small can of diced chilis onion garlic salt and some taco seasoning into the meat. My squashes yielded a lot of meat so I put one squash on the bottom generously salted it put the meat on top of it then put the other squash on top of the meat. Also generously salted the top layer. I dumped all the enchilada sauce on top (and I am pretty sure I used more than 16 oz). For cheese on top I used cheddar and pepper-jack instead of Mexican cheese blend/queso fresco. Next time I'd just use one squash. It was way too much squash-to-meat ratio.
This was so good. It would be good with crushed tortilla chips on top or in a grilled tortilla.
Delicious! I did tweak it a little. I added plain Greek yogurt and cumin to the spaghetti squash and taco seasoning to the ground turkey. My whole family loved it!
