Pumpkin-Turkey "Ghoulash" with Caraway Noodles

This aromatic pumpkin and turkey goulash is a vibrant, high-protein take on the traditional Hungarian stew. By using lean turkey thighs and nutrient-dense pumpkin purée, the dish achieves a rich, velvety consistency without the need for heavy creams. The combination of sweet and hot paprika provides a warming depth of flavour that perfectly complements the earthy notes of fresh thyme and garlic. It is a wonderfully comforting meal for chilly autumn evenings when you crave something substantial yet wholesome.

Designed for busy households, this versatile recipe is an excellent choice for batch cooking as the flavours develop beautifully after a day or two in the fridge. Serving the stew over buttery noodles tossed with toasted caraway seeds adds a sophisticated Scandinavian-inspired finish. To manage the heat to your preference, simply adjust the ratio of sweet to hot paprika, and always serve with a dollop of cool soured cream to balance the spice.

  • 2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt

  • 1 cucchiaino di pepe nero macinato fresco

  • 3 cucchiai di olio d'oliva

  • 2 large onions, chopped (about 725ml )

  • 2 large russet potatoes (about 675g total), peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces

Place turkey, paprika, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in large resealable plastic bag. Seal bag; shake. Heat oil in large pot over medium-high heat. Remove turkey from spice mixture (reserve spice mixture in bag). Add turkey to pot; cook 5 minutes. Place onions and potatoes in bag with spice mixture. Seal bag; shake to coat. Add vegetables to pot; cook 5 minutes, turning occasionally. Add broth, pumpkin, garlic, bay leaf, and thyme sprig; bring to boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until potatoes begin to fall apart, about 1 hour.

Discard thyme sprig. Stir in 1 tablespoon chopped thyme. Season stew with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Chill uncovered until cold, then cover and chill. Rewarm stew over medium heat before serving.

Cook noodles in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain noodles; return to pot. Add butter and caraway seeds to noodles. Toss until butter melts. Divide noodles among bowls; top with stew. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons chopped thyme. Serve, passing soured cream alongside.
