Jumbo Shells Stuffed with Turkey

By: ACME

"Delicious jumbo pasta shells stuffed with turkey or chicken, ricotta cheese and toasted pecans. One of my favorite pasta recipes, it's a perfect way to use up leftover turkey or chicken. Equally as good if you leave out the sherry!"

Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) package jumbo pasta shells
2 cups chopped cooked turkey
1/2 cup chopped pecans
4 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 egg
1 cup ricotta cheese
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pinch white pepper
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup shallots, minced
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup dry sherry
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pinch white pepper
1/2 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium baking dish.
In a large bowl, mix turkey, pecans, parsley, egg, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, and white pepper. Stuff cooked shells with the mixture. Place shells in the prepared baking dish.
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in shallots, and cook about 1 minute. Mix in flour, and cook about 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Gradually mix in chicken broth and sherry. Stir constantly until thickened. Stir in salt, white pepper, Gruyere cheese, and heavy whipping cream. Spoon over stuffed shells, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree F (175 degrees C) oven for 30 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly. Place under broiler to lightly brown. Serve immediately.
