Looking for a low-carb dish that packs in the protein and is paleo-friendly? This scrumptious turkey bolognese with garlic spaghetti squash fits the bill. Vitamin A- and fiber-rich spaghetti squash replace your go-to noodles, eliminating processed carbs and adding nutrients to your plate. The stringy squash is paired with a rich turkey bolognese that's studded with dried oregano and basil—two herbs that are jam-packed with antioxidants, according to a study in Nutrition Today.
If you've gone paleo but miss your weekly pasta nights, this alternative to beefy pasta bolognese is a serious cravings crusher. It serves up 8 grams of fiber and 22 grams of protein—and the sauce is splashed with full-bodied wine, a prime source of resveratrol. Because this dish is free of grains, added sugar, dairy, and processed foods, you can rest easy knowing it's caveman-approved! If you've been contemplating giving paleo a try, consider this turkey bolognese your gateway. Psst: If you stick to eating like your ancestors, a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that you'll benefit from a smaller waist as well as lowered blood pressure and blood sugar!
