Ingredients

Scale

Turkey Mixture

  • 1 lb lean ground turkey
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1-2 tablespoons olive oil (for sautéing)

Sauce and Cheese

  • 1½ cups Alfredo sauce (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Optional Garnishes and Add-ins

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or basil, chopped (optional)
  • Vegetables such as spinach, mushrooms, zucchini, or bell peppers (optional)
  • Red pepper flakes or hot sauce (optional, for spice)
  • Seasoned breadcrumbs (optional, for added texture)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the turkey mixture: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the finely chopped onion and minced garlic until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the ground turkey, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook until just browned but not fully cooked through. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to build the base flavor.
  2. Combine with Alfredo sauce: Reduce heat to low and gently stir in the Alfredo sauce, ensuring the turkey is evenly coated. Let the mixture simmer for 3-5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.
  3. Assemble in a baking dish: Transfer the turkey and Alfredo sauce mixture into a greased baking dish. Evenly sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese on top to create a rich, cheesy crust.
  4. Bake to perfection: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the dish for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the bake to set and flavors to develop.

Notes

  • Don’t overcook the turkey initially to prevent dryness after baking.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for better melting and richer flavor.
  • Let the bake rest before cutting to hold its shape for cleaner slices.
  • Mix in seasoned breadcrumbs to bind the turkey mixture and add a satisfying bite.
  • Adjust the amount of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese to balance creaminess and sharpness to your taste.
