My cousin sent me this recipe and it sounds great. As written the total is 34 points and if you served as is it for 4 servings it would be 9 points per serving. I think you could cut the turkey in half and find a lighter version of the cheese and shave 9 points total. I want to try this because it is packed with yummy ingredients.
1 spaghetti squash cut in half
1 can black beans 15oz (7pts)
1 lb ground turkey 16oz (12pts)
1 roma tomato
5 mushrooms
5 sweet peppers
1/2 cup spinach
Taco seasoning packet
1/2 cup pepper jack cheese 4oz (12 pts)

Preheat oven to 400. Cut and shell out the seeds of the squash. Drizzle some olive oil over the squash and bake for 45 min.
Put ground turkey in a pan with a tsp of olive oil and brown. Throw in all veggies, drained and rinsed black beans and taco seasoning. Sauté until veggies are tender and meat is cooked through.

Once squash is done, fluff the edges of it pulling the strands away from the sides but not removing it. Load the turkey mixture into each boat and top with even amount of cheese. Bake for another 10 min and serve hot.
