PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  Cook the jumbo pasta shells in a large pot of boiling water for 2 minutes less than the package directions until slightly firm, then drain and set aside.

• 3

  In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the ground turkey until browned and crumbled, then remove from heat.

• 4

  Roughly chop the fresh baby spinach and stir it into the warm turkey until it begins to wilt.

• 5

  In a medium mixing bowl, combine the turkey and spinach mixture with the ricotta cheese, egg white, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano.

• 6

  Spread half of the marinara sauce across the bottom of a small oven-safe baking dish.

• 7

  Carefully stuff each cooked pasta shell with a generous amount of the turkey and ricotta mixture and place them into the baking dish.

• 8

  Spoon the remaining marinara sauce over the shells and sprinkle evenly with mozzarella and parmesan cheese.

• 9

  Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
