How to Make Ground Turkey Paprikash And Macaroni

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound of elbow macaroni and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. While the pasta cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add 1 pound of ground turkey and brown, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  4. Add 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 chopped medium onion, and 1 chopped red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes, until softened.
  5. Stir in 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 teaspoon sweet Hungarian paprika (optional), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook for 1 minute more.
  6. Pour in 1 1/2 cups of chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and stir in 1/2 cup of sour cream.
  7. Add the cooked macaroni to the skillet and stir gently to combine. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes, allowing the pasta to absorb some of the sauce.
  8. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  9. Serve immediately, garnished with 2 tablespoons of fresh chopped parsley.
