2cupsno-sugar-added marinara sauce, divided
2tablespoonschopped fresh basil (Optional)
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Cook shells in a pot of boiling water according to package directions until al dente. Drain and transfer to a plate.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add zucchini, onion and garlic and cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add turkey and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes.
Whisk ricotta, 1/4 cup Parmesan, egg, Italian seasoning, fennel seed, nutmeg, crushed red pepper, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add the turkey mixture and mix well.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake until the marinara is bubbly, about 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for 10 minutes more. Let the shells rest for 10 minutes, then sprinkle with basil, if desired, and serve.
Tips
To make ahead: Prepare through Step 5. Wrap baking dish tightly with plastic wrap, then foil, and freeze for up to 1 month. Remove plastic wrap and bake frozen shells, covered, until marinara is bubbly, 45 to 50 minutes. Uncover and bake for 10 minutes more. Or, thaw shells in refrigerator overnight and bake as directed in Step 6.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
