While the spaghetti squash is roasting, prepare the turkey chili.
Add 1 tbsp of olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat.
When hot, add the diced onion and saute for 3-5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and saute for an additional minute, then add the ground turkey.
Cook until the meat is browned, app. 8-10 minutes.
Drain any grease then add the chili beans, remaining 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp pepper, and all additional spices.
