How to Make Turkey Spinach Manicotti

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 11x7-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Cook 1 pound manicotti shells according to package directions, omitting salt. Rinse with cool water and drain very well.
  3. Spray a 10-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Cook 1 pound ground turkey, 1/2 medium onion (chopped), and 2 cloves garlic (minced) over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until turkey is no longer pink, stirring frequently.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 15 ounces ricotta cheese, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and 10 ounces fresh spinach (chopped).
  5. Transfer the turkey mixture to a large gallon-sized zip-top bag. Snip a small corner off the bag to create a piping tip.
  6. Pipe the filling into the cooked manicotti shells.
  7. Arrange the filled manicotti shells in the prepared baking dish.
  8. Pour 24 ounces marinara sauce evenly over the manicotti.
  9. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
  10. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
