Directions

Using a spatula, transfer the uncooked ground turkey to the skillet and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Cook the ground turkey until most of the pink is gone, but don't cook it all the way through.

Everything should be thoroughly mixed until blended. Add the ground turkey and onion mixture, stir, and then top with cheese. Bake the casserole dish for forty-five minutes with the foil covering it.

After taking the baking dish out of the oven, take off the foil. To make the cheese bubbling and somewhat golden brown, broil the casserole for 5 to 8 minutes on High Broil in the oven. The casserole will appear somewhat watery at first, but as it rests, the liquid will seep into the rice.
