Ground Turkey Stroganoff Recipe
When I think of comfort food, beef stroganoff comes to mind.
I didn’t have it too often growing up, but when I did, I just couldn’t get enough. The savory sauce, loaded with ground beef and tossed with wide egg noodles was a delicious way to have a hot and cozy meal.
It also reminds me of hamburger helper, which was (and still is) a favorite of mine. And just in case you like it, too, you must check out this pepperoni pizza hamburger helper, one pot meatball stroganoff, and instant pot stroganoff. After all, easy weeknight meals are definitely a thing around here.
This simple turkey stroganoff is my new favorite recipe. Not only is it ready in 30 minutes, but the stroganoff sauce is made in just one pan and has lots of flavor. It combines cream of mushroom soup and sour cream (or Greek yogurt) for that creamy texture.
And mushrooms…you must know by now that I love mushrooms. And if you do, too, this recipe was made for you. Serve it over noodles or alongside mashed potatoes, rice, or a simple salad.
This stroganoff recipe is incredibly versatile, too. You can mix in any turkey leftovers you may have, traditional beef, or use another ground meat, such as chicken, to make a chicken stroganoff. The possibilities are endless!
Picky kids (and husbands!) will enjoy this simple meal. It’s an easy way to sneak in some turkey and mushrooms.
Ingredients in Best Turkey Stroganoff Recipe:
- Ground turkey
- Shallots: a small white onion will also work

How to Make Turkey Stroganoff:

To the same skillet, add mushrooms, salt, pepper, and garlic powder and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the mushrooms start to soften.

Serve mixture over cooked noodles and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

Leftover stroganoff will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. When ready to serve, reheat in the microwave.
Can You Freeze Ground Turkey and Mushroom Stroganoff?
Yes! Let stroganoff cool to room temperature and then place in a freezer-safe bag or container and s tore in the freezer for up to three months. When ready to eat, let thaw completely in the refrigerator before reheating the in microwave.
What’s a Good Side Dish for Stroganoff?
I like to serve this mushroom stroganoff with white rice, cauliflower rice, a green salad, garlic bread, or mashed potatoes.
Variations:
- Swap out the ground turkey: Thanksgiving leftovers (such as turkey) or leftover chicken would be a delicious swap.
- Switch up the vegetables: adding peas, sliced carrots, or even asparagus would make this a heartier dish.
- Experiment with seasonings: some paprika, thyme, or rosemary would be a tasty addition to pasta sauce.
- Sauces: Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard give this recipe a kick of flavor.
- White wine: for even more flavor, you can add some white wine to the pan after cooking the turkey and shallots.
