Description

Lighten up a bit with this American Turkey Goulash Recipe that is filled with vegetables.  Comfort food that is better for you than the original – but it’s definitely not lacking on flavor!


Scale

Ingredients

  • 8 oz uncooked egg noodles
  • 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper (any color), chopped
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced into half moons
  • 20 oz ground turkey
  • 1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped

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.
