'pasghetti squash as pasta?

When visiting my sister on Monday night she let me know of a handful of recipes she used to LOVE when she was doing Weight Watchers.  She had gotten very fit and a lot of it was by cooking healthy.  This one recipe she told me about, Turkey Spaghetti Squash Pie, sparked my interest - probably because I love squash and I had just bought a package of ground turkey the day prior with no real goal on what to do with it.  

The recipe was pretty simple.  I was missing ricotta cheese and mozzarella cheese.  Part of me didn't want to stop for these items on the way home because I figured I could do without.  If I made it again I would try to have one or the other.  The squash was a great substitute for pasta and kept the dish very healthy.  The only ingredients were the squash, turkey, stewed tomatoes (I bought fire roasted) and egg.  I did have a bit of Parmesan cheese and topped 1/2 with parm.  I was full off of 1/6th of the Pyrex dish and have a lot for left overs - I'm looking forward to dinner tonight!
