Oops!

An oops turns out a great meal. It was a crazy day for me. I had to "get worked in" to the doctor's office and then pick up a prescription. Nothing serious, which is seriously good! But this problem threw off my entire day. I was planning on making a Cuban-Style Sea-Bass meal from my 20-minute Super Suppers cookbook, but didn't have two key ingredients on hand. Oops! I was supposed to pick those up on lunch. Oh well! In the middle of assembling what we needed for the fish meal, we realized my oops! After looking at each other crazy like and going through the pantry and freezer we came up with a dish we are calling Turkey Manicotti. Ron normally doesn't like ground turkey because he says it is dry, but he really liked this creation. Turkey Manicotti Makes 4 - 8 servings, depends on how much your family eats. We had a little meat mixture leftover so we just baked it up with cheese on top in a separate casserole dish. Ingredients: 14 Manicotti shells (1 package of shells) 1 lb. ground turkey 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided 4 eggs, beaten slightly 1/4 cup seasoned dry bread crumbs 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (grate more if you would like to sprinkle parmesan on top of prepared shells.) 3/4 cup finely chopped onion 1/2 cup finely chopped green bell pepper 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 2 cups spaghetti sauce (We used homemade sauce we had in the freezer). Instructions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and cool. In a large skillet, brown turkey, drain and cool slightly. Mix together meat, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, eggs, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, onion, bell pepper, oregano, salt and pepper. Spread a thin layer of spaghetti sauce on the bottom of a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish. Stuff each manicotti shell with meat mixture until full and place into baking dish. When dish is full, cover with spaghetti sauce. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella and parmesan cheese, if desired. Bake 45 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Eat and enjoy!
