Ingredients

15-20 Jumbo Shells
1lb. Lean Ground Turkey
2 Cups Light Ricotta (or Fat Free)
2 Cups Fat Free Mozarella (Reserve 1 Cup)
½ Small Onion
½ Red Pepper
2 Garlic Cloves
1 Tbsp Garlic Powder
½ Tsp. Pepper
1 Tsp. Salt
1 Packet Splenda
1 Tsp. Parsley Flakes
1 Jar of Pasta Sauce

Method

Saute onion, garlic, and red pepper in a skillet over medium heat. After about 4-5 minutes, add the ground turkey. Cook thoroughly.
In a separate bowl, combine ricotta, mozzarella, garlic powder, salt, splenda and parsley. After the meat has cooled for 5 minutes, add it to the cheese mixture and mix well.
Boil the jumbo shells according to the package directions. Grease a pan and preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Drain shells and run cool water over them so they are easier to handle.
Stuff each shell with about 2 Tbsp. of the meat/cheese mixture. It should be enough mixture that the shell can almost close at the top. Place them in the pan, and cover thoroughly with pasta sauce, making sure no edges of pasta are exposed.
Top with the reserved mozzarella cheese, and cover with foil. Bake for 35-40 minutes. Remove the foil 10 minutes early if you want to brown the cheese.
