Fantastic!! My boyfriend loved it & that's a tough thing to do since he always cooks! I had to use the pre-seasoned turkey meat & I doubled the recipe. I stuffed the shells to full & it gave 18 total. I also topped with mozzarella right when's took it out of the oven.. I'll definitely do this again!

I enjoyed making this recipe and my family really loved it! I didn't have ground turkey, so I used extra lean hamburger. I made a few extra shells (I cooked half of the package of jumbo shells) and found plenty of filling to fill them all. I found it much easier to stuff these shells than a manicotti shell while giving a similar taste. My family thought they were elegant, fun and very tasty!! I may need to drain the cottage cheese before using, as there was some watery-tomato liquid in the bottom of the pan when I pulled them out. I can move the shells to a serving dish so no one else sees this, so it's not a problem. I think this recipe would be easy to double and freeze half of it for another tasty meal.
