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!

Not bad! I thought the filling was a little bland, so I added some extra garlic and oregano. The shells were cooked perfectly though.
