Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) ground turkey (93% lean preferred)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 8 ounces (225g) cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
  • 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (or plant butter)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or gluten-free all-purpose flour)
  • 2 cups (480ml) low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (or coconut aminos for soy-free)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2/3 cup (160g) sour cream or plain Greek yogurt (full-fat preferred)
  • 8 ounces (225g) egg noodles, cooked
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add egg noodles and cook according to package directions (usually 7–8 minutes) until al dente. Drain and set aside. Toss with a teaspoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened. Stir in mushrooms and sauté for another 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are browned and their moisture has cooked off.
  3. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, just until fragrant. Crumble in ground turkey and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, for 5–6 minutes until cooked through with no pink remaining.
  4. Sprinkle flour over the turkey mixture and stir well to coat. Cook for 1 minute. Gradually pour in broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Remove skillet from heat. Stir in sour cream or Greek yogurt until smooth and creamy. Do not boil after adding dairy.
  7. Add the cooked noodles directly into the sauce and toss to coat, or serve stroganoff over a bed of noodles. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free flour and noodles. For dairy-free, substitute coconut or almond-based yogurt and plant butter. Sauce thickens as it cools; add a splash of broth or milk when reheating. Browning the turkey and mushrooms adds extra flavor. Add frozen peas or spinach for extra nutrition. Can be served over rice or mashed potatoes instead of noodles.
