Ingredients
  

For the Stroganoff
  • 1 lb Ground Turkey Lean protein that absorbs flavors well; substitute with chicken or beef for variation.
  • 1 medium Onion Adds a sweet, aromatic base; no direct substitute recommended.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Provides a distinct punch of flavor; fresh garlic is best for the most flavor.
  • 8 oz Mushrooms Contributes earthy depth; substitute with other mushrooms or omit if disliked.
  • 1 tsp Paprika Adds warmth and flavor; smoked paprika can be used for a deeper taste.
  • 1 tsp Salt Essential for seasoning; use kosher salt for better control over seasoning.
  • 0.5 tsp Black Pepper Offers a mild heat; could substitute with white pepper.
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth Acts as the liquid base; vegetable broth can be used for a vegetarian version.
  • 0.5 cup Sour Cream Provides creaminess; Greek yogurt can replace it for a lighter option.
  • 1 tbsp All-Purpose Flour Thickens the sauce; cornstarch can be used for a gluten-free alternative.
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil Used for sautéing; any neutral oil can be used.
For Serving
  • 8 oz Egg Noodles Serves as the base; substitute with rice or zucchini noodles for low-carb options.
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley Adds freshness and color as a garnish; could use chives instead.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add one finely diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes.
  2. Once the onion is soft, introduce 2 minced garlic cloves to the skillet. Cook for an additional minute.
  3. Add 1 pound of ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it apart. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and fully cooked.
  4. Stir in 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour with 1 cup of chicken broth until smooth. Pour into the skillet.
  6. Reduce the heat to low and gently stir in ½ cup of sour cream, mixing until fully combined. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  7. Cook 8 ounces of egg noodles according to package instructions in a separate pot. Drain and set aside when done.
  8. To serve, spoon the creamy turkey mixture over the egg noodles in bowls and garnish with fresh parsley.
