More Please! Ground Turkey Casserole image

"More, please" is what I always hear from my kids when I make this casserole. I love it because it tastes great and is super easy after a busy day when I don't feel like working very hard on dinner. You can also assemble this casserole the night before (minus the cheese; add it just before baking) and refrigerate until the next evening - just remember to shorten your baking time as the noodles will absorb the liquid overnight - it will only need to bake 25 minutes or so, or until heated through and cheese is melted and golden brown. ** NOTE**Depending on the meat used, you may or may not need the specified amount of oil for saute-ing the meat and vegetables; adjust amount according to your needs.
