Ground Turkey Goulash

Submitted by Jenniegal

"This is absolutely delicious! Try this on people who claim they don't like ground turkey. They shouldn't be able tell this isn't ground beef. Warmed up leftovers are even tastier. I did not use the parmesan cheese when I made this."

Tasty and easy. Some hot sauce really amped up the flavor. I liked it on its own without noodles too!

Great low calorie dish, however a bit bland. I added a dash of ketchup, Worcester sauce, dried red pepper flakes, seasoned salt, and few spoons of salsa to zip it up. I didn't have onion powder, but used a larger diced onion. I probably would add some red wine when browning the ground turkey next time.

Great Recipe, have made this many times.. I used it as more of a base though. After reading other recipes I expected it to be a bit bland. I at least doubled spices and added crushed red pepper, salt &pepper for a bit more flavor. I use a parm/rom shredded cheese mix for a bit more flavor. Also use both red and green pepper!! Overall a great start though..every one who i have made this for has loved it.

I have made multiple times. A great base. Add some extra spices and additions ( read the other reviews ) and you'll be satisfied.

Loved this recipe ! I used a chickpea and rice flour pasta for the noodles and it was amazing ! I also added a little xantham gum to the mixture to thicken keeping it as healthy as possible and still being able to adhere to our training and meal plan !! Thank you for sharing this with the rest of us !
