Instructions:
-
Preparation:
- Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
- Prepare a 2-quart casserole dish by coating it with nonstick cooking spray.
-
Cook Elbow Macaroni:
- In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the elbow macaroni according to the package instructions until al dente, usually about 12 minutes.
- Once cooked, drain the macaroni and set it aside for later use.
-
Sauté Aromatics and Veggies:
- Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Add minced garlic, chopped onions, and any additional veggies of your choice, such as green or red peppers and mushrooms.
- Sauté the vegetables until they become softened and fragrant, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
-
Cook Ground Turkey:
- To the skillet with the sautéed vegetables, add the ground turkey.
- Cook the turkey, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it changes color and is fully cooked through. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
-
Combine Ingredients:
- In the prepared casserole dish, combine the cooked elbow macaroni, sautéed turkey and vegetable mixture, skim milk, canned soup (of your choice), black pepper, and chopped fresh parsley.
- Mix everything together until well combined and evenly distributed in the casserole dish.
-
Add Cheese Topping:
- Sprinkle the top of the casserole evenly with grated extra-sharp cheddar cheese.
-
Bake:
- Place the casserole, uncovered, in the preheated oven.
- Bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the casserole is heated through.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once done, remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve this delicious Oh MY Casserole hot, and enjoy the comforting flavors and hearty goodness with your loved ones!
