Mexican Stuffed Shells - total time 45 minutes


Tasty meal, kind of remind me of a more 'sophisticated' hamburger helper.  I plan on trying this with shredded chicken next time.

1 lb ground lean turkey
4 oz. fat free cream cheese
18-24 jumbo pasta shells
8 oz can of dice tomatoes
1 packet taco/enchilada seasoning
1 cup medium salsa
1 cup cheddar cheese
green onions
sour cream

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Prepare noodles according to package.  Brown meat in pan.  When meat is no longer pink, add cream cheese, diced tomatoes, and taco seasoning.  Cook for about two minutes or until cream cheese is melted into meat.
2. Spray pan with olive oil.  Stuff shells with meat mixture.  Add shells to pan, opening down.  Spread salsa and any additional sauce from pan over shells.  Cover and place in oven for 20 minutes.
3. Add cheese, recover, bake additional ten minutes.
4. Add green onions and sour cream (optional) and serve!
