Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 pound Ground turkey (or chicken)
  • 8 ounces Egg noodles
  • 1 Small onion, diced
  • 2-3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
  • 2.5 cups Turkey broth
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1-2 tbsp Flour
  • 0.5 cup Sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme (optional)
  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground turkey for about 7 minutes until it’s nicely browned. If there’s any excess grease, drain it off.
  2. Toss in the diced onion and sauté for about 3–5 minutes until it softens. Stir in the minced garlic for about 30 seconds.
  3. Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir well to coat. Cook this for about a minute.
  4. Pour in the turkey broth and milk, then add the dry egg noodles directly into the skillet.
  5. Bring everything to a gentle simmer and cook for about 8 minutes until the noodles are just tender.
  6. Lower the heat, then stir in the sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, and thyme. Adjust salt and pepper as needed.
  7. Stir in the butter and let the noodles sit for 2–3 minutes off the heat before serving.

Notes

This One-Pan Beef & Noodles is perfect for family dinners or casual gatherings. Letting the dish rest off heat helps achieve that creamy consistency. You can also customize with different types of meat or pasta.
