Method

Preheat oven to 400 F. Cook shells according to package directions; drain. While pasta is cooking, cook ground turkey and bacon in olive oil until just a few pink pieces remain. Add onion and garlic and cook until the meat mixture is no longer pink and the onion and garlic are softened. Remove from heat and stir in spinach until wilted. Add seasoning and mix well. Cool 10 minutes. Pour 3/4 cup tomato sauce into 9x13 dish lined with foil. Sprinkle 1 tbsp Parmesan cheese on top. Fill shells with meat mixture and place in dish.
