Time 40m

Yield 24 shells, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

24 large pasta shells (12-ounce)
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 lb ground turkey (preferably dark meat)
salt & fresh ground pepper
1 (8 ounce) package frozen artichokes, thawed and coarsely chopped
1 (15 ounce) carton whole milk ricotta cheese
3/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
5 cups marinara sauce
1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Bring a pot of water to a boil for the shells. Cook according to package directions; drain.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until onion is tender and beginning to brown, about 3 minutes.
  • Add turkey, salt, and pepper, and cook until meat is light golden and heated through, stirring occasionally.
  • Add artichoke hearts and stir to combine. Remove from heat; allow to cool.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cooled turkey mixture with ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, eggs, basil, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir.
  • Cover the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1 cup of marinara sauce. Holding a shell in the palm of your hand, stuff with large spoonfuls of turkey mixture, about 2 tablespoons per shell. Place each shell in the baking dish. Keep working until dish is full; you should have about 24 shells.
  • Drizzle remaining marinara sauce over shells and top with grated mozzarella.
  • Bake shells until warmed through and until cheese begins to brown, about 25 minutes.
