    1

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). This will ensure that the casserole cooks evenly.

    2

    In a large pot, boil water and add the pasta. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.

    3

    While the pasta is cooking, chop the onion and garlic. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the onion and garlic until they are tender, around 3-5 minutes.

    4

    Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook until it is browned, about 5-7 minutes. Make sure to break it up into smaller pieces as it cooks.

    5

    Once the turkey is cooked, add in the broccoli and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing it to soften slightly.

    6

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, turkey and broccoli mixture, cheese, milk, and seasoning. Stir everything together until well mixed.

    7

    Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Spread it out evenly.

    8

    Sprinkle the bread crumbs on top for a nice crispy texture.

    9

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

    10

    Once done, let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the casserole to set slightly for easier serving.
