Preparation

  • Lightly oil a large rimmed baking sheet.
  • Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil, and cook the shells according to package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water until cool. Transfer the shells to the baking sheet in a single layer, and set aside.
  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 375°F.
  • In a large bowl, mix the ricotta, 1 cup of the mozzarella, the pine nuts, 1/2 cup of the arugula, 1/4 cup of the Parmigiano, the currants, garlic, egg, pepper flakes, and 3/4 tsp. salt until well combined. Gently fold in the turkey. Season to taste with salt and pepper flakes.
  • Lightly oil the bottom and sides of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread 1 cup of the marinara over the bottom of the baking dish. Fill each shell with 2 Tbs. of the filling (you will not use all of the shells), and transfer to the baking dish, arranging as many shells, open side up, in a single layer as comfortably fit. Spread 1-1/2 cups of the sauce evenly over the shells. Add the remaining filled shells on top, nestling them into any gaps. Spread 1/2 cup of the sauce over these shells. Top with 2 cups of the remaining mozzarella and the remaining 2 Tbs. Parmigiano.

Remove the foil, turn the oven to broil, and broil until the cheese begins to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes, and garnish with the remaining 2 Tbs. of arugula. Heat the remaining sauce, and pass at the table.

    This was just lovely! -a great use for leftover turkey and a step above most dishes with leftovers. My whole family enjoyed it; the currants and pine nuts were a nice addition. I will certainly make this again.

    Made this for a dinner when the whole family was "in house". The reviews were very mixed -- most did not care for the flavor and texture of the pine nuts. (I did not include the currants in anticipation of their response.) I used store-roasted chicken (not leftover turkey). I'm told to stick with our regular recipe for stuffed shells.
