Creamy Turkey Stroganoff

A comforting and creamy turkey stroganoff that’s quick and budget-friendly, perfect for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 ounces egg noodles
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: frozen peas or spinach for extra vegetables

Instructions

  1. Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  2. Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Break it into small pieces with a spatula and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until no pink is left and the meat is lightly browned.
  3. Stir in the sliced mushrooms, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Continue cooking for about 5 minutes until mushrooms soften and release their moisture.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk the flour into the chicken broth until smooth. Pour the slurry into the skillet, scraping any browned bits from the bottom. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 3–4 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  5. Reduce heat to low and stir in the sour cream until the sauce is uniform and glossy. Avoid boiling to prevent dairy separation. Warm for 1–2 minutes.
  6. While the sauce finishes, cook the egg noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain well.
  7. Serve the noodles topped with the creamy turkey sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley and stir in optional peas or spinach if desired.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free flour or cornstarch (use half the amount for cornstarch). Low-sodium chicken broth is recommended for a lighter dish.
