Paprikash, a Hungarian dish that gets its bold color and flavor from paprika, is usually made with chicken or turkey legs. Cutlets are quick-cooking and lower in fat.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound turkey cutlets, halved horizontally

  • Salt and pepper

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided

  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced

  • 4 plum tomatoes, diced small

  • 2 tablespoons sweet or smoked paprika

  • ¾ cup chicken broth

  • cup sour cream

  • Cooked egg noodles, for serving

  • ¼ cup fresh dill, chopped

Directions

  1. Pat turkey dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.

  2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high. In batches, cook turkey until cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and tent loosely with foil.

  3. Reduce heat to medium, then add onion, tomatoes, and remaining 2 tablespoons butter; cook until onion has softened and tomatoes have broken down, 6 minutes. Add paprika and cook 1 minute.

  4. Add broth and cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream. Return turkey to pan along with any accumulated juices. Sprinkle with dill and serve over noodles.
