bow-tie pasta with ground turkey sauce, homemade on a pretty plate

Turkey Bow-Tie Casserole

Written by COA Nutrition Team On May 23, 2025

A super easy, yummy, kid-friendly pasta casserole. It goes together really quickly and it’s a hit every time!

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 ½ cups farfalle (bow-tie) pasta
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • ¾ cup ready to use tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning blend
  • 1 pinch garlic salt
  • ¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¾ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon poppy seeds

DIRECTIONS

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground turkey in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Reduce heat to low and add sauce, brown sugar, Italian seasoning, and garlic salt. Let simmer for 1 to 2 minutes; remove from heat and cover.
  4. Drain cooked pasta and pour into a medium casserole dish. Stir in mozzarella cheese, Cheddar cheese, and poppy seeds. Spread turkey mixture on top and serve.

Planning Ahead Tip of the Month

Yes, you should get an air fryer!

There are a lot of questions popping out when it comes to this latest kitchen craze. Is it worth buying an air fryer? Here are some reasons why we think so: • Easy to clean • Easy to use • Safe to use • Healthier meals • Doesn’t take up much space • Faster Than Oven Cooking An air fryer is an incredibly easy way to cook just about anything. You place the food in a fryer-style basket and hot air rapidly circulates all around the food, making the food crisp – much like deep-frying, but without the oil. You can cook anything you’d make in the oven. So, yes, DO IT!
