Stuffed Shells With Ground Turkey and Ricotta Cheese image

Left over ricotta cheese led me to making this recipe. Instead of the basic marinara sauce I made a bechamel sauce. Now if you are looking for a low fat recipe - this is not it. This is rich and creamy and delicious!

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

24 jumbo pasta shells
1 lb ground turkey
15 ounces ricotta cheese, whole milk
1 cup frozen spinach
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 onion
1 garlic clove, minced

These shells were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less Parmesan cheese next time.
