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.

TURKEY & SPINACH MANICOTTI
I am posting this recipe for safekeeping. It comes from the EatBetterAmerica webstie. This looks really good & easy! I can't wait to try it. I know stuffing manicotti can be a pain, so use a disposable gallon sized bag and snip a corner to pipe the filling into the pasta.

Tips:
- To make the manicotti shells, you can use a pasta maker or a rolling pin. If you're using a pasta maker, roll the dough out to a thickness of about 1/16 inch. If you're using a rolling pin, roll the dough out to a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
- Be sure to cook the manicotti shells al dente, so that they're still slightly firm to the bite.
- When filling the manicotti shells, be sure to leave a little space at the top so that the filling doesn't spill out when you bake them.
- When baking the manicotti, cover them with foil so that they don't dry out.
- Serve the manicotti with your favorite sauce. A simple tomato sauce or a creamy Alfredo sauce would be a great choice.
