I lightened up this Instant Pot Midwest goulash by using ground turkey instead of beef. Feel free to add corn, beans, or peas. Garnish with cheese if desired.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 pound ground turkey

  • 2 small carrots, grated

  • ½ medium onion, diced

  • ½ medium green bell pepper, diced

  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning, or to taste

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste

  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt (such as Lawry's®), or to taste

  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste

  • 1 ½ cups water

  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 ½ teaspoons beef bouillon granules

  • 2 cups elbow macaroni

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • 1 (15 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes

  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce

Directions

  1. Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and select the Sauté function. Add olive oil and turkey; cook until halfway browned and crumbly, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in carrots, onion, bell pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, seasoned salt, and black pepper.

  2. Mix water, Worcestershire sauce, and bouillon granules together in a small bowl. Pour into meat mixture and stir until well combined. Bring to a simmer, then stir in macaroni and paprika. Add tomatoes and tomato sauce, making sure not to stir after this addition. Close and lock the lid. Set the timer for 4 minutes. Allow about 10 minutes for pressure to build.

  3. Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to the manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.

  4. Mix well before serving.

Cook's Note:

You can use Italian-seasoned diced tomatoes or stewed tomatoes instead of regular diced tomatoes.
