In a large heavy saucepan, sauté the onions and turkey over medium heat until the onions soften, about 10 minutes. As it cooks, break up the turkey into very small pieces with a wooden spoon. Add the garlic, herbs, salt, fresh ground black pepper, and milk. Cook stirring for 2 minutes.
Add the marinara sauce, water, and parsley. Simmer uncovered on medium-low for 1 hour, or until the turkey is very tender. Add more water, as needed, while it cooks to keep the sauce from getting too thick.
Boil the rigatoni according to directions, and then drain thoroughly. Stir the pasta into the Bolognese sauce, turn off the heat, and stir in the cheese; cover and let sit for 5 minutes before serving hot.
