Manicotti cups...yum!

I love the wonton wrappers and the muffin tin meals! I made an especially good one today that I thought I'd share. :-)

24 wonton wrappers

15 oz container of low fat ricotta

1 pound lean ground turkey (I used ground beef but won't again...I still don't care for it)

1 and 3/4 cups 2% mozzarella shredded

small can mushrooms stems and pieces

small can black olives sliced

bertolli vodka sauce (you can obviously use anything but I don't recommend the low fat sauces, you use such a small amount per serving but it packs a lot of flavor....I have used low fat in the past and it was awful)

I browned my meat with some italian seasoning and garlic salt. When it's done browning, I mixed the meat, ricotta, mushrooms and black olives together. Spray your muffin tin with a non-stick spray and put your wonton wrappers in the muffin cups, then put a large tablespoon of the mixture in each cup. Then add about a tablespoon of sauce and put another wonton wrapper in and more mixture, sauce and then top with the shredded mozzarella. I baked at 375 for about 18 minutes. I thought they were pretty delicious. I am not sure on the exact calories but less than 250 and at least 15 grams Protein. One serving usually fills me up and sometimes I can't finish.

I have found 2 websites that have a lot of these type of recipes: The World According to Eggface (which has been mentioned many, many times on this site) - she has lots of recipes for egg-based "bites" and a lot of them are on My Fitness Pal; and Emily Bites (hers is more of a weight-watcher friendly site, but has a lot of recipes that use wontons and are made in muffin tins). I think she has nutritional info for them as well.

Here are links - enjoy!
