Preheat oven to 400°.

Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out seeds. Place spaghetti squash cut side down on parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake until lightly browned on outside, 30-40 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a large frying pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon oil. Add turkey and break into smaller pieces with a spoon or spatula. Season with Italian seasoning and salt. Cook until meat is brown. Drain any extra grease. Add spaghetti sauce to turkey and stir together.

Once spaghetti squash is fork tender, remove from oven and flip squash over, cut side up. Let cool for about 15 minutes and then use a fork to scrape spaghetti squash strands out. Serve spaghetti squash topped with meat sauce and garnish with parmesan cheese.
