INGREDIENTS

1 large jumbo pasta shells

0.5 cup part-skim ricotta cheese

2 oz lean ground turkey

1 cup fresh baby spinach

1 large egg white

0.5 cup marinara sauce

1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

0.5 oz shredded mozzarella cheese

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp dried oregano

0.13 tsp sea salt

0.13 tsp black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

• 2

  Cook the jumbo pasta shells in a pot of boiling salted water until al dente, then drain and set aside to cool.

• 3

  In a small non-stick skillet over medium heat, brown the ground turkey until fully cooked and crumbly.

• 4

  Steam the fresh baby spinach until wilted, then squeeze out all excess moisture and chop the leaves finely.

• 5

  In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg white, chopped spinach, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 6

  Stir the cooked ground turkey into the marinara sauce to create a high-protein meat sauce.

• 7

  Spread roughly half of the meat sauce into the bottom of a small oven-safe baking dish.

• 8

  Generously stuff each cooked pasta shell with the ricotta and spinach mixture and arrange them in the baking dish.

• 9

  Spoon the remaining meat sauce over the shells and sprinkle evenly with the shredded mozzarella cheese.

• 10

  Bake for 20 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling and the mozzarella has melted into a golden crust.
