Ground Turkey Noodle Bake Recipe Rating 5

Back in the 1950's, when my husband was diagnosed as diabetic, we had five children at home to feed. I made this casserole often...and it satisfied us all. We all agree it's still as delicious today as it was then.

I didn't have any turkey defrosted, but used Jimmy Dean regular sausage instead. Didn't have powdered milk, so used 1/2 cup 2% milk instead and increased the cream cheese to 6 oz. and used two cloves of garlic too! My daughter who's been a bit pickey LOVED it!

I tried this recipe, and everyone in my family liked it, exept my mom. For some reason she hates Italin Seasoning, or at least the type we have.
