  • Total Time: 22 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Meat and Seasonings

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons dry minced onion
  • 2 tablespoons dry chives
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Liquids and Herbs

  • 1½ cups chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon dried Italian herbs
  • 20 ounces canned diced tomatoes

Carbohydrates

  • 2 cups dry egg noodles

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Meat and Aromatics: Turn your Instant Pot on to sauté mode. Add the ground turkey, 2 tablespoons dry minced onion, 2 tablespoons dry chives, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon minced garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally until the meat is browned evenly.
  2. Add Remaining Ingredients: Pour in the chicken broth, canned diced tomatoes, dried Italian herbs, 2 cups dry egg noodles, and 1 tablespoon butter. Mix everything well to combine thoroughly.
  3. Seal the Instant Pot: Close the Instant Pot lid securely and set the sealing valve to the sealed position to prepare for pressure cooking.
  4. Pressure Cook: Set your Instant Pot to high pressure for 8 minutes to cook the noodles and blend the flavors.
  5. Release Pressure: When the cooking time completes, perform a quick release by carefully opening the sealing valve to release all the steam immediately.
  6. Stir and Serve: Open the lid, stir the goulash to combine any settled ingredients, and serve hot. Enjoy it on its own or with a fresh salad and a loaf of bread for a complete meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey with ground beef or chicken if preferred.
  • For a dairy-free version, omit the butter or replace it with olive oil.
  • If you like a thicker sauce, use less chicken broth or reduce the cooking liquid after pressure cooking with sauté mode.
  • Add vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms during the sauté step for extra nutrition.
  • Make sure to use dry egg noodles designed for quick cooking under pressure to avoid mushiness.
