How to Make Turkey Manicotti
- Brown 1 lb ground turkey and 1/2 lb turkey sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
- Transfer the cooked turkey mixture to a food processor and pulse 5-6 times, just to slightly break it down. Do not over-process.
- In a large bowl, combine 1/2 cup ricotta cheese, 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 cup packed fresh spinach (chopped), and salt and pepper to taste.
- Gently stir in the processed turkey mixture.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook manicotti shells in batches of 6-8, according to package directions, until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Spread 1 1/2 cups marinara sauce evenly over the bottom of a 13x9 inch baking dish.
- Fill each manicotti shell with the turkey and cheese mixture. Arrange the filled manicotti side-by-side in the prepared baking dish.
- Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the manicotti, ensuring they are mostly covered.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese over the top.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over the cheese.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 35-40 minutes, or until bubbly and heated through.
