Pumpkin-Turkey Ghoulash With Caraway Noodles

• 2 large turkey thighs (1 3/4 pounds each), skin removed, meat cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1/2 cup Hungarian sweet paprika or Hungarian hot paprika (or a mixture of both)
• 2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 large onions, chopped (about 3 cups)
• 2 large russet potatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds total), peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 4 cups low-salt chicken broth
• 1 14 1/2-ounce can pure pumpkin
• 4 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 large fresh thyme sprig plus 3 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme, divided
• 1 1/2 pounds egg noodles
• 5 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon caraway seeds
• Sour cream

1. Place turkey, paprika, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in large resealable plastic bag. Seal bag; shake. Heat oil in large pot over medium-high heat. Remove turkey from spice mixture (reserve spice mixture in bag). Add turkey to pot; cook 5 minutes. Place onions and potatoes in bag with spice mixture. Seal bag; shake to coat. Add vegetables to pot; cook 5 minutes, turning occasionally. Add broth, pumpkin, garlic, bay leaf, and thyme sprig; bring to boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until potatoes begin to fall apart, about 1 hour.
2. Discard thyme sprig. Stir in 1 tablespoon chopped thyme. Season stew with salt and pepper.
3. Cook noodles in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain noodles; return to pot. Add butter and caraway seeds to noodles. Toss until butter melts. Divide noodles among bowls; top with stew. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons chopped thyme. Serve, passing sour cream alongside.
