Ingredients

    1 box Jumbo pasta shells
    2 lbs ground turkey
    3 pkgs fat free cream cheese (room temp)
    1 pkg frozen spinach
    1 bag shredded mozzerella
    1 1/2 cans of spaghetti/marinara sauce of choice
    1 med sweet onion
    4 cloves garlic (or one good tsp of minced garlic)
    spices to taste
    (small pinch of allspice if you would like as well)

Directions

*in a deep skillet saute the onions and garlic in about 3-4 tbsp of extra light olive oil. Once carmelized add turkey burger and brown (and scramble).

*Cook spinach in microwave till un-frozen

*in a big mixing bowl mix the cream cheese, spinach, and burger mixture and smoosh (hands work much better than spoons in this case) add spices to taste:
usually a little salt, pepper, italian spice blend, chives, a small pinch of allspice, and red pepper flakes (you choose your level of heat)

*Boil pasta shells until not quite done (aldente)
*drain and rinse with cold water

*drizzel a 13x9 pan (and possible a little 8x8 for leftovers) with EVOO and begin stuffing pasta shells with mixture then lining up in pan (usually a heaping desert spoon full will do the trick)

*once all shells are filled then top with sauce and mozerella

*bake in oven at 350 for appx. 20 minutes (untill cheese is how you like it mine gets slightly bubbly and browned)
