This recipe sounds odd, but I promise it makes for an unbelievable, rich hearty meal! Family and friends all show up a couple days AFTER Thanksgiving knowing this will be on the menu... Cheesy and delicious, and feeds a crowd!

Ingredients

  • 1 box jumbo pasta shells , 12 ounce
  • 2 cups cubed cooked turkey
  • 1.5 cups leftover stuffing
  • 1 package cream cheese , 4 ounce
  • 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese
  • 0.33 cups mayonnaise
  • 4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1.5 cups leftover turkey gravy

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

  2. 2

    Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the shell pasta, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 13 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.

  3. 3

    Place turkey and stuffing in food processor, and pulse until finely ground and combined. Place the ground turkey and stuffing mixture in the bowl of a stand mixer along with the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, and 2 cups of the mozzarella. Mix with paddle attachment on medium-low until well blended.

  4. 4

    Spread 1/2 cup of gravy on the bottom of the prepared dish. Stuff the pre-cooked pasta shells with the turkey mixture and place in the dish in tight rows. Top with the remaining gravy and the remaining 2 cups of mozzarella cheese.

  5. 5

    Bake, covered, for 45 minutes. Uncover and cook for an additional 10 minutes until top is browned and bubbly. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
