- 1 tablespoon flour (all-purpose or gluten-free)
- 1 ½ cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
- 6 oz egg noodles (or pasta of choice)
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional garnish)
- Optional additions: sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or peas
Instructions
- Cook the Pasta: Boil egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Sauté Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook onion for 3–4 minutes, add garlic, and sauté 30 seconds.
- Brown Turkey: Add ground turkey, breaking it apart. Cook 5–6 minutes until no longer pink. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Create Sauce Base: Sprinkle flour over turkey mixture, stir to coat. Pour in chicken broth, Worcestershire, and Dijon. Simmer 5–7 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Add Sour Cream: Reduce heat to low, stir in sour cream until smooth and creamy. Do not boil.
- Combine and Serve: Toss noodles with sauce, garnish with parsley, and serve immediately.
Notes
- For Crockpot: Brown turkey and onion, then add to slow cooker with broth, Worcestershire, mustard, and spices. Cook on Low 4–5 hours. Stir in sour cream before serving.
- Use full-fat sour cream or Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture.
- Avoid boiling after adding sour cream to prevent curdling.
- Add mushrooms, spinach, or peas for extra nutrition.
- Freezer-friendly: Freeze sauce without noodles up to 2 months. Add fresh pasta when reheating.
