Ingredients

3 cups wide egg noodles
1 pound ground turkey
1 onion, chopped
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ cup milk
4 ounces cream cheese
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 clove garlic, minced
1 ¼ cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
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.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in turkey and onion. Cook and stir until turkey mixture is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink, about 10 minutes; drain. Stir in tomato sauce and Italian seasoning; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
Combine milk, cream cheese, parsley, and garlic in a small saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat until cream cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
Toss noodles with cream cheese mixture; transfer to prepared baking dish. Top with turkey mixture and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
Bake in preheated oven until cheese is melted, 15 to 30 minutes.
