Low-Point WW Goulash (serves 6)

Ingredients

• 1 lb (450 g) 99% lean ground turkey (or very lean beef)
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup diced bell peppers (any color)
• 1 can (14.5 oz / 400 g) diced tomatoes
• 1 can (14.5 oz / 400 g) crushed tomatoes or tomato sauce (no-sugar-added)
• 1 cup uncooked whole-wheat pasta elbows (or high-fiber pasta)
• 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 tbsp paprika
• 1 tsp smoked paprika (optional but great flavor)
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• Salt & pepper to taste
• Optional add-ins (zero-point): zucchini, mushrooms, spinach

Instructions

1. Spray a pot or pan with nonstick spray and set over medium heat.
2. Add the ground turkey, onion, and garlic — cook until the meat is browned.
3. Stir in peppers and any extra veggies; cook 2–3 minutes.
4. Add tomatoes, broth, pasta, and all seasonings. Stir well.
5. Bring to a light boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer 12–15 minutes until pasta is tender.
6. Taste and adjust salt/pepper. Let sit a few minutes to thicken before serving.

🔢 Point Guide (approx.)

• Using 99% lean turkey + whole-wheat pasta → typically 2–4 points per serving on most WW plans
• Using regular beef or white pasta will increase points

(Exact points vary by brand & plan — track ingredients in your WW app for your version.)

💡 Tips to Lower Points Even More

• Swap half the pasta for extra veggies
• Use hearts of palm or zucchini pasta instead of wheat pasta
• Add a teaspoon of Worcestershire or vinegar for richness without points

⭐ Optional Toppings (add only if you want)

• Fat-free Greek yogurt (instead of sour cream) — zero points on many plans
• Fresh parsley or chili flakes
