Ingredients
    1 (12 oz.) size giant shell noodles
    2 cans chunky style Hunt's spaghetti sauce
    1 (8 oz.) pkg. Sargento lite low-fat Mozzarella cheese
    1 lb. ground white meat, skinless turkey, cooked and drained
    1 carton Frigo Truly Lite low-fat Ricotta cheese
    2 Tbsp. Parmesan cheese
    2 Egg Beaters, beaten
Preparation
    Cook the noodles as directed on the box.
    Cook the turkey meat in a bowl in the microwave.
    Cover bowl with a piece of waxed paper and cook 5 minutes.
    Remove and stir.
    Return to the microwave and cook about 3 to 4 more minutes.
    Drain turkey meat in a colander. In a large bowl, pour in the spaghetti sauce.
    Add the turkey to the tomato sauce.
    In a medium bowl, blend together the Ricotta cheese, Egg Beaters and Parmesan cheese.
    Spray 2 casserole dishes with Pam spray (9-inch square size).
    This recipe makes two casseroles.
    You can serve one now and freeze one for a busy day when you don't have time to cook.
    Pour a little of the turkey-tomato sauce mixture in the bottom of each of the casserole dishes.
    Spread the Ricotta cheese mixture over this layer in each dish.
    Next place the noodles on top of the Ricotta cheese mixture. Sprinkle half of the cheese on top of each dish.
    Repeat layers with sauce, giant shells and end up with Mozzarella cheese sprinkled on top.
    Bake at 350\u00b0 for 30 to 40 minutes.
    You can also cook this for 10 minutes in the microwave and place in oven about 5 minutes to brown.
    Yields 2 (9-inch) square casseroles.
    Serves 18 to 20.
