Instructions
1
In a large Dutch oven, heat over medium-high heat and add the lean ground beef and ground turkey. Cook, breaking the meat into smaller pieces, until fully browned and no pink remains; drain any excess grease.
2
Add the chopped onions to the pot and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until they become tender and translucent.
3
Stir in 3 cups of water, then add the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, bay leaves, soy sauce, seasoning salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
4
Cover the pot with a lid and let the mixture simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
5
After simmering, stir in the dried elbow macaroni, ensuring it's evenly distributed in the mixture. Replace the lid and continue to simmer for an additional 20 minutes, or until the macaroni is tender.
6
Once cooked, turn off the heat, remove the bay leaves, and allow the goulash to rest for about 30 minutes before serving. This will enable the flavors to deepen and the dish to thicken slightly, resulting in a scrumptious meal.
