Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1 yellow onion (medium, diced)
• 2 clove garlic (minced)
• 4 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup milk (any kind)
• 12 ounce wide egg noodles
• 1 cup peas (frozen)
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme (dried)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1 pound ground turkey and 1 medium diced yellow onion. Cook, breaking up the turkey, until browned and onion is softened, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
2. Stir in 2 minced cloves garlic, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Pour in 4 cups chicken broth and 1 cup milk. Bring to a gentle simmer. Add 12 ounces wide egg noodles and stir well. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender and most liquid is absorbed.
4. Remove from heat. Stir in 1 cup frozen peas and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese until peas are heated through and cheese is melted.
5. Serve immediately.

Notes

Add a splash more broth or milk if the pasta seems too dry after cooking. Leftovers store well and can be easily reheated.
