Turkey Noodle Helper Skillet
When Hamburger Helper came on the scene in 1977, I was waiting plate in hand for some of that meat stretching, carb-loaded goodness. I guess I've always admired the one pot meal method. Separated cooking is fine for those occasions when you have the time and desire to be that girl, but most days, we like our short cuts. I made a Ground Turkey Stroganoff with Broccoli Rabe, mushrooms and a dollop of sour cream and chicken stock. In a large skillet with lid, brown the turkey in a pan with mushrooms onions and cook well, until all the liquid has absorbed and begins to get a little crisped up. Add a heaping tablespoon of flour, salt pepper and spices of choice. Cook just until raw flour cooks off. Add chicken stock, about 2-4 cups, bring to boil. Be sure to scrape off the delicious fond on the bottom of the pan. Add egg noodles, stir, cover and simmer for 20 minutes on low. Open the lid and add all your par-boiled chopped broccoli rabe. No need to stir yet, the steam will cook but leave the vibrant color. Cover on low for 10 more minutes. Before serving stir in a 1/2 cup sour cream or yogurt and chicken stock slurry.
The broccoli rabe adds a horseradish-y element that takes this from tasting like a phoned in dinner, to 'this chick knows what she's doing' feel. It's tangy, it's packed with flavors and texture. It yields happy-inducing retro vibes and if you are a lover of life, this is for you.
