Ground Turkey Noodle Bake

Ingredients

• cooking spray
• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 3 cups wide egg noodles
• 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.5 cup milk
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1.25 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly coat an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add turkey and onion; cook and stir until turkey browned and crumbly and onion soft, about 10 minutes. Drain.
3. Fill a large pot of lightly salted water and bring to a rapid boil. Cook egg noodles at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
4. While the water is coming to a boil, stir tomato sauce and Italian seasoning into turkey mixture; bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and cover; simmer for 10 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, combine milk, cream cheese, parsley, and garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir until cream cheese melts, about 5 minutes. Pour over egg noodles; stir to combine. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
6. Layer turkey mixture over noodles; sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.
7. Bake in the preheated oven until casserole hot and cheese melted, 15 to 30 minutes.
