Quick tip before starting
In the photos an 8×8 baking dish was used. However, for the recipe you will need something a bit larger. A 13×9 baking dish will be perfect. A 16×9 would be too big for the ingredients used.
Making the ground turkey casserole
- First, brown the ground turkey in a frying pan.
- Now, in a bowl combine the cream cheese, cottage cheese and ranch together.
- Next, preheat the oven to 350F and cook the noodles according to the package. While the noodles are boiling crush the Ritz crackers and mix them with the melted butter.
- Then, once the noodles are drained mix together the noodle, ground turkey and the sauce from earlier. Spread everything in a baking dish and topped with the buttered crackers.
- Bake in a preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until top is golden brown.
- Lastly, allow to cool a bit before serving.
