Ground Turkey Noodle Bake

Ingredients

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

Instructions

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 is browned and crumbly and onion is soft, about 10 minutes. Drain.
3. Fill a large pot with 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 the 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 the turkey mixture over noodles; sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.
7. Bake in the preheated oven until casserole is hot and cheese is melted, 15 to 30 minutes.
