• 1 pound 85% lean ground turkey
• 16 ounces fat-free refried beans
• 1 taco seasoning mix
• 14 manicotti shells
• 12 ounces green enchilada sauce
• 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend

 

Directions:

1. Boil the manicotti for 8 minutes and drain. Set aside.
2. Heat a large skillet to medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook while breaking up into chunks with a spatula until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease. Stir in taco seasoning and refried beans and mix well. Cook until heated through. Allow the mixture to cool. Stuff the mixture into the cooked manicotti shells.
