This Ground Turkey Noodle Bake is a satisfying casserole using lean ground turkey, noodles, and cheese. It’s a delicious and budget-friendly meal that will feed a large family. This casserole is also great to eat for lunch the next day, if you’re lucky enough to have leftovers.

I love this recipe for busy weeknights. It comes together quickly and everybody loves it. Chances are you already have everything you need to make this dish. I always stock up on Ragú® Pasta Sauce when I go to Kroger and it’s perfect for this recipe. Many thanks to Ragú® for sponsoring today’s recipe.

Spaghetti night is a almost weekly occurrence at my house, but every once in a while I like to mix things up a bit. This ground turkey noodle bake is a perfect example of that.

There are so many things I like about this casserole. I grew up on Ragú® and still love it today. Egg noodles make me think about all the wonderful casseroles my mom used to make. When I was new bride, egg noodles made a regular appearance in the tuna noodle casserole I lovingly made for my husband (three times a week). That got old really fast. Luckily, for him and me, I finally learned how to make a few more dishes.

I love the layers of creamy noodles, ground turkey, sauce and cheese. A mixture of Greek yogurt and cottage cheese give the noodles a wonderful creaminess. It’s so good. You could use any type of cheese in this recipe, but I pretty much always have a bag of grated Cheddar in the fridge.

(yields 8-10 servings)

Ingredients:
1 pound ground turkey
1 (16 ounce) jar Ragú® Old World Style® Traditional Sauce
½ teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder, divided

2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
8 ounces wide egg noodles
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 1/4 cup small curd cottage cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9×13 casserole dish.

In a large skillet, brown the ground turkey. Drain fat, then add 1/2 tsp. of the garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper. Stir in Ragú® sauce, then simmer while you prepare the other ingredients.

Cook noodles until al dente. Drain and set aside.

In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, and remaining 1/2 tsp. of garlic powder and stir until almost smooth. Add plenty of freshly ground black pepper. Add to noodles and stir to combine.

To assemble, add half of the noodles to the baking dish. Top with half the meat mixture, then sprinkle on half the cheddar. Repeat with noodles, meat, then a final layer of cheese.

Bake for 20 minutes, or until all cheese is melted. Serve and enjoy.

Family mealtime is so important to me and my family. Sometimes it’s a struggle during the busy week, but it’s an effort worth making. It’s a great time to catch up on each other’s day and make plans for the weekend ahead. Does your family have a favorite weeknight meal?
