This turkey–kale pasta bake is a simple, nourishing meal that comes together quickly and easily feeds a table of hungry kids and teens. Ground turkey provides high-quality protein for growth, steady energy, and balanced blood sugar, while finely chopped kale adds fiber, minerals, and gentle detox-supportive compounds. Baked into a comforting, familiar dish with gluten-free pasta and a savory sauce, the flavors blend beautifully—even for selective eaters. Perfect for busy weeknights, with leftovers that reheat well for next-day lunches. Serve with a simple green salad for a balanced meal.
