Recipes Meat and Poultry Turkey Ground Turkey Recipes Kristin's Turkey Butternut Squash Casserole 4.5 (48) 45 Reviews 18 Photos I based this recipe for a ground turkey and butternut squash casserole on one submitted by Allrecipes.com member Mildred Sherrer from Fort Worth, Texas. This is my very tweaked version that cuts some of the fat and calories. I think this is a great recipe for a family. Recipe by Kristin Ferguson Updated on October 7, 2022 Save Saved!

Grease a 9-inch square baking dish. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground turkey; cook and stir until crumbly and browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Add butternut squash and onion; cook and stir until squash is slightly tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain any excess grease from the skillet. Whisk milk, mozzarella cheese, melted butter, eggs, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Gradually stir milk mixture into turkey mixture. Transfer the skillet contents to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle crushed crackers over casserole. Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through and bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes. Tips One average-sized butternut squash yields approximately 4 cups cubed squash. You can add a little more squash if desired. Save time by purchasing pre-cut squash.
