Ingredients
  

For Serving
  • 12 oz egg noodles
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
For the Stroganoff
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 large onion finely chopped
  • 1.25 lbs lean ground turkey 93/7 recommended
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth low-sodium
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 3/4 cup full-fat sour cream at room temperature
  • 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper freshly ground, or to taste

Equipment

  • 1 Large skillet or Dutch oven
  • 1 Large Pot (for noodles)
  • 1 Spatula

Instructions
 

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook egg noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter with olive oil. Add onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add ground turkey, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook until no longer pink. Drain excess fat.
  3. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until the mushrooms have released their liquid and started to brown.
  4. Sprinkle the flour over the turkey mixture and stir for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the beef broth, scraping up any bits from the bottom. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, until thickened. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard.
  5. Reduce heat to low. In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream and about 1/2 cup of the hot sauce from the skillet. Pour this tempered mixture back into the skillet and stir until smooth and creamy. Do not let it boil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve the creamy ground turkey stroganoff over the warm egg noodles, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

Temper the Sour Cream: Don't skip this step! Adding a little hot liquid to the sour cream before adding it to the pan prevents it from curdling and ensures a silky smooth sauce.
Room Temperature Sour Cream: Letting your sour cream sit out for 20-30 minutes before you start cooking also helps prevent curdling.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.
