Turkey Goulash
Description
This recipe starts with browning ground turkey in a skillet, then mixing in cooked egg noodles and vegetables sautéed separately to maintain their texture. Onions, bell peppers, and zucchini add layers of mild sweetness and freshness, while canned tomato sauce provides a tangy base. Fresh basil stir-in at the end imparts a bright herbal note to the warm mixture.
The dish offers a combination of textures: soft egg noodles adapted to sauce, tender cooked turkey, and slightly softened vegetables. Cooking components separately helps control the texture of each ingredient.
Turkey Goulash works well as a simple, filling dinner that requires few ingredients and comes together efficiently. It can be served as a standalone meal.
Ingredients
- 8 oz egg noodles uncooked
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 onion chopped, small
- 1 bell pepper any color, chopped
- 1 zucchini sliced into half moons, medium
- 20 oz ground turkey
- 15 oz tomato sauce canned
- 2 tablespoons basil chopped, fresh
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to the package directions, then drain and set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the bell pepper to the skillet and cook an additional 2 minutes. Add in the zucchini and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the skillet to a plate and set aside.
- Place the ground turkey in the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it up as it cooks. Add the tomato sauce and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through and slightly thickened. Add the reserved vegetables back to the skillet and cook until the vegetables are heated through. Add the cooked noodles and toss to coat.
- Serve the goulash topped with the fresh basil.
Notes
- Cooking vegetables separately before adding to turkey ensures they retain texture without overcooking.
