Stages of cooking
-
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
-
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.
-
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook egg noodles in boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
-
While the water is coming to a boil for the noodles, stir tomato sauce and Italian seasoning into turkey mixture. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
-
At the same time, combine milk, cream cheese, parsley, and garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until cream cheese melts, about 5 minutes. Pour over egg noodles and stir to combine. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
-
Layer turkey mixture over noodles. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over top.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until casserole is hot and cheese is melted, 15 to 30 minutes.
