Rinse and clean the yellow squash.

Cut off the ends and slice the squash in half lengthwise.

Score the tops of each squash in a cross-hatch pattern.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the squash halves cut side up.

Lightly coat the squash with cooking oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and roast the squash for 20-25 minutes.

In a skillet, add ground turkey and season with a chili powder blend, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic salt, and black pepper.

Add a little avocado oil to the skillet and cook the ground turkey, breaking it apart until cooked through.

Check the squash for doneness, adjusting cooking time if more charring is desired.

Top the roasted squash with the cooked ground turkey meat and serve with green salsa, lettuce, tomato, and sliced scallions.
