• preheat an oven to 350 degrees f (175 degrees c). grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. once the water is boiling, stir in the shell pasta, and return to a boil. cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 13 minutes. drain well in a colander set in the sink.
• place turkey and stuffing in food processor, and pulse until finely ground and combined. place the ground turkey and stuffing mixture in the bowl of a stand mixer along with the cream cheese, parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, and 2 cups of the mozzarella. mix with paddle attachment on medium-low until well blended.
• spread 1/2 cup of gravy on the bottom of the prepared dish. stuff the pre-cooked pasta shells with the turkey mixture and place in the dish in tight rows. top with the remaining gravy and the remaining 2 cups of mozzarella cheese.
• bake, covered, for 45 minutes. uncover and cook for an additional 10 minutes until top is browned and bubbly. allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
