INGREDIENTS
5 whole wheat jumbo shells (approx. 75g)
¼ cup part-skim ricotta (approx. 62g)
½ cup chopped fresh spinach (approx. 15g)
1 egg white (approx. 33g)
¼ cup marinara sauce (approx. 62g)
2 tablespoons shredded part-skim mozzarella (approx. 14g)
3 ounces lean ground turkey (approx. 85g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat jumbo shells according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the part-skim ricotta cheese, chopped spinach, egg white, and lean ground turkey. Stir until the mixture is well blended; season with salt, pepper, and any preferred herbs.
Spoon the creamy mixture into each cooked pasta shell, filling them generously.
Arrange the stuffed shells in a lightly greased baking dish. Drizzle the marinara sauce evenly over the shells.
Sprinkle the shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is melted and slightly browned.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your balanced, delicious meal!
