TURKEY MANICOTTI
I love manicotti, but most manicotti recipes are stuffed with ricotta, which I love, but my kids and husband wont eat it. I made this recipe for them, with only a small amount of ricotta they dont even know it's there, and they love it!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Whisk 2 eggs, flour, water, salt, and 1/2 teaspoon olive oil together thoroughly in a bowl to make a very smooth batter. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate batter for 1 hour.
- Mix turkey, ricotta cheese, 1 egg, 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, mozzarella cheese, marjoram, red pepper flakes, and 1/4 cup Italian parsley in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Season with salt to taste.
- Place a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and brush generously with 1 teaspoon olive oil or as needed. Swirl about 1/4 cup batter into the bottom of the pan and tilt to form a thin pancake covering the bottom of the skillet. Cook until bottom of crepe is dry, 60 to 90 seconds. Flip crepe and cook until other side has small browned spots, 60 to 90 seconds more. Repeat with remaining batter to make 6 crepes. Transfer crepes to a plate as you make them.
- Spread about 1/2 cup marinara sauce into the bottom of a 9x12-inch baking dish. Use a brush to spread about 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil in a thin layer up the sides of the dish. Place a crepe, dimpled side down, onto a work surface; spread about 1/3 to 1/2 cup filling onto crepe in a line down the middle. Roll crepe over filling and tuck in ends if desired. Lay filled crepe into the baking dish. Repeat with remaining crepes and filling to make 6 manicotti.
- Spread remaining 1 cup marinara sauce onto the manicotti in a line down the middle of the crepes, covering middle 1/3 of manicotti. Sprinkle 1/3 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese all over manicotti. Drizzle manicotti with remaining 1 1/2 teaspoon olive oil.
- Bake in the preheated oven until manicotti are slightly browned and puffy, about 45 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes to cool. Garnish with 1 tablespoon Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese or as desired and 1 tablespoon Italian parsley before serving.

Tips:
- For the best results, use a large pot to cook the manicotti shells. This will help to prevent them from sticking together.
- Be careful not to overcook the manicotti shells. They should be cooked until they are al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
- When filling the manicotti shells, be sure to use a spoon or piping bag to evenly distribute the filling. This will help to prevent the shells from bursting.
- To prevent the manicotti from drying out, cover them with foil or plastic wrap before baking.
- Serve the manicotti immediately with your favorite sauce and toppings.
Conclusion:
Turkey manicotti is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can make sure that your manicotti turns out perfect every time.
