    • 1/2 cup freshly shredded Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
    • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

STEPS

1

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

2

Whisk 2 eggs, flour, water, salt, and 1/2 teaspoon olive oil in a bowl to make a very smooth batter. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate batter for 1 hour.

3

Mix turkey, ricotta cheese, 1 egg, 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, mozzarella cheese, marjoram, red pepper flakes, and 1/4 cup Italian parsley in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Season with salt to taste.

4

Place a skillet over medium-high heat and brush with olive oil. Swirl 1/4 cup batter into the skillet, forming a thin pancake. Cook each crepe until lightly browned, 1-2 minutes per side. Repeat for 6 crepes.

5

Spread 1/2 cup marinara sauce in a 9x12 baking dish. Brush with a thin layer of olive oil. Spread 1/3 to 1/2 cup filling down the center of each crepe, roll, and place in the dish. Repeat for all crepes.

6

Spread remaining marinara sauce over the middle third of the crepes. Sprinkle 1/3 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and drizzle with remaining olive oil.

7

Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes until slightly browned and puffy. Let stand for 5 minutes before garnishing with Parmigiano-Reggiano and parsley.
