Easy Turkey Butternut Squash Casserole Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 pound lean ground turkey
• 2 cups cubed butternut squash
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 cup 1% milk
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 large eggs
• 0.25 cup butter, melted
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 cup crushed buttery round crackers (such as Ritz®)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish to prevent sticking.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground turkey and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and crumbly, about 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in the butternut squash and onion; cook until the squash is slightly tender, approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
3. In a bowl, whisk together milk, mozzarella cheese, eggs, melted butter, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Gradually stir this mixture into the turkey and squash mixture until everything is evenly coated. Pour the combined mixture into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the crushed crackers evenly over the top.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until the casserole is cooked through and bubbling, around 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
