Turkey Burger Stuffed Manicotti Recipe

Ingredients:

  • Manicotti Shells
  • 2-3 lbs Ground Turkey
  • 1 Small Onion, Diced
  • 2-4 Cherry Tomatoes, Halved
  • Romaine & Arugula Lettuce, Chopped
  • 1/2 Cup Cheese Sauce (nacho)
  • Kosher Salt (To taste)
  • Fresh Cracked Black Pepper (To taste)

Turkey Burger Stuffed ManicottiInstructions:

  1. Fill a stock pot with water and set to a roiling boil, add a pinch of salt and add Manicotti. I add a drizzle of olive oil to keep the pasta from sticking together. Stir pasta for a minute or two.
  2. When pasta is al dente, drain in a colander. (“Al dente” is a french culinary term that means “to the tooth.” To cook pasta al dente, you boil until it is mostly soft with a very small amount of firmness left in the center.)
  3. Place pasta in ice cold water to stop the cooking process and set aside.
  4. In a medium skillet sauté diced onions.Turkey Burger Stuffed Manicotti
  5. After onions are translucent add ground turkey and brown. When meat is finished set aside.
  6. Cut cherry tomatoes in half and chop lettuce. Set aside.
  7. Heat glass jar of cheese sauce in the microwave until contents can be easily poured. Be careful the glass and cheese will be extremely hot. Use an oven mitt.
  8. Next, stuff Manicotti with meat, assemble on plate and drizzle with cheese sauce. Add a generous amount of chopped lettuce and garnish with tomatoes. Super easy and delicious.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
