Steps:
- Soak the bread in the milk for 5 minutes, then squeeze dry and discard the milk. In a large mixing bowl, combine the soaked bread, the beaten egg, 1 pound of ground turkey, the fennel seed, grated Parmesan cheese, parsley, olive oil, garlic, lemon peel, allspice, salt and the black pepper. Mix with a wooden spoon until all the ingredients are blended but do not over mix or the meat will become tough.
- Form the meat into small balls about 1-1/2 inches in diameter. Place the meatballs on a tray or baking sheet in one layer and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
- In a large heavy-bottomed skillet heat 4 tablespoons of oil over moderate heat. Fry the meatballs in batches of 5-8 at a time shaking the skillet constantly to roll the balls and keeping them round. As each batch browns remove them from the skillet and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil off. The meatballs will be slightly underdone and will finish cooking in the simmering sauce.
- Add the marinara sauce to a saucepan and bring it to a boil; add the turkey meatballs and reduce the heat to is lowest point and simmer while the squash is roasting.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F
- Cut the squash in half, lengthwise, remove the seeds and the attached membrane. Place on a baking tray cut side up, lightly brush the exposed flesh with oil, sprinkle each half with salt and grindings of black pepper and roast for 40 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Using a fork, scrape down from the inside edge and around to the opposite edge gathering up all the strands, repeat with the other half. Place the strands in a serving dish, top with the hot meatballs, marinara sauce and parmesan cheese. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Season cut sides of squash with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bake, cut sides down, on a baking sheet until tender, about 45 minutes. Let stand until cool enough to handle. Scrape flesh into strands using a fork. Let drain, covered to keep warm, in a colander set over a bowl.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 teaspoon oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic, stirring, until soft but not brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Add oregano; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Divide mixture between 2 bowls.
- Stir 1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons cheese into 1 bowl of onion-garlic mixture. Mix in breadcrumbs, turkey, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper using your hands. Form mixture into 12 balls.
- Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown meatballs, turning, 4 to 6 minutes; transfer to a plate. Add remaining teaspoon oil to skillet. Cook mushrooms, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper, adding a few tablespoons water if skillet browns too quickly, until soft and beginning to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Add remaining bowl of onion-garlic mixture, meatballs, and stock; bring to gentle simmer. Cook, partially covered, until meatballs are cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Add spinach; cook until just wilted, about 1 minute.
- Divide squash and meatball mixture into 4 servings. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.

Steps:
- To prepare the spaghetti, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Drizzle cut sides of squashes with oil; season with salt and pepper. Place cut sides up on a baking sheet. Bake until soft to the touch, 1 to 1 1/4 hours.
- To prepare the sauce, heat the oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, for 1 minute. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, for an additional minute. Stir in the tomatoes and oregano; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, and reduce to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 20 minutes. Keep warm over low heat.
- Prepare the meatballs. In a medium bowl, stir together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, parsley, and garlic with a wooden spoon until combined. Add the milk, and stir until incorporated. Add the turkey, egg, salt, and pepper, and mix with your hands until well combined. Form mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls.
- Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in 2 batches, cook the meatballs until evenly browned, turning often, about 6 minutes. Repeat with remaining meatballs. Transfer meatballs to the sauce, and simmer until cooked through, about 10 minutes.
- When the squashes are cool enough to handle, scrape the flesh of each squash with a fork into strands, and place into a large bowl. Serve topped with meatballs and sauce, and sprinkled with cheese, if desired.
