Time 1h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (12 ounce) box jumbo pasta shells
2 cups cubed cooked turkey
1 ½ cups leftover stuffing
1 (4 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
½ cup Parmesan cheese
⅓ cup mayonnaise
4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 ½ cups leftover turkey gravy

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the shell pasta, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 13 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
  • Place turkey and stuffing in food processor, and pulse until finely ground and combined. Place the ground turkey and stuffing mixture in the bowl of a stand mixer along with the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, and 2 cups of the mozzarella. Mix with paddle attachment on medium-low until well blended.
  • Spread 1/2 cup of gravy on the bottom of the prepared dish. Stuff the pre-cooked pasta shells with the turkey mixture and place in the dish in tight rows. Top with the remaining gravy and the remaining 2 cups of mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake, covered, for 45 minutes. Uncover and cook for an additional 10 minutes until top is browned and bubbly. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

I'm allergic to dairy, so I used a dairy-free cheese in the filling. It turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my shells didn't turn out right. They were too mushy.

These shells were a lot of work to make, and they didn't really taste that great. I wouldn't make them again.

The filling was a little dry. I would add more sauce or cheese next time.

The shells were a little too soft for my liking. I would cook them for a shorter amount of time next time.

These shells were a little bland for my taste. I would add more herbs and spices next time.
