How to Make Ground Turkey Noodle Paprikash

  1. Finely chop 1 medium onion and 2 cloves garlic.
  2. In a large Dutch oven or pot, sauté the onion and garlic in 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add 1 pound of ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons of sweet Hungarian paprika and 1 teaspoon of dried thyme. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to toast the spices.
  5. Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth and add 8 ounces of egg noodles. Bring to a boil.
  6. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the noodles are almost cooked through, stirring occasionally.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup sour cream and 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour until smooth.
  8. Stir the sour cream mixture into the noodle mixture.
  9. Simmer for another 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, stirring frequently.
  10. Serve the paprikash over 1 pound of steamed broccoli florets. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
