Add the ground turkey to the skillet and sauté for about 10 minutes or until cooked through.

Transfer the cooked turkey to a bowl and let it cool completely.

In a separate bowl, combine teriyaki sauce, smooth peanut butter, and water to create the peanut sauce; stir until uniform.

Chop the scallions and slice the orange bell pepper into strips and then dice.

Boil the whole wheat spaghetti according to package instructions; drain and rinse under cold water to remove excess starch.

Transfer the rinsed spaghetti to a large bowl.

Add the cooked turkey, peanut sauce, chopped scallions, and diced bell pepper to the bowl with the spaghetti.

If desired, add crushed red pepper for heat and toss everything together with tongs until well combined.

Crush some peanuts in a plastic bag using the bottom of a water glass for garnish; sprinkle on top before serving.
