D-Lish Three Cheese Turkey Manicotti

Tried this for dinner the other night. I used ground Turkey instead of beef. (A little healthier) Can you say YUM? Braden devoured it so it MUST have been good.

12 uncooked manicotti shells
1 lb. ground turkey
1 lrg. sweet onion, chopped
1 jar (26oz) three cheese spaghetti sauce
2 tsp. sugar
2 tsp. italian seasoning
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. garlic powder
2 c. shredded cheddar monterey jack cheese
1 carton (15 oz) ricotta cheese
1/2 c. grated parmesan cheese, divided
1 egg

Cook manicotti according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a skillet cook turkey and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in spaghetti sauce, sugar, italian seasoning, onion powder and garlic powder. Place 1 c. meat sauce into greased 9x13 pan.
Drain manicotti. In a large bowl, combine the shredded cheese, ricotta cheese, 1/4 c. parmesan cheese and the egg. Stuff into manicotti shells. Place shells over the meat sauce. Top with remaining sauce and sprinkle with remaining parmesan cheese. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until bubbly.

*Optional. Before putting in oven I added chives and parsley. You can add other seasonings you think would be good!
