The BEST Stroganoff—Turkey or Beef

I love hearty meals—especially on cold winter days! Stroganoff is a flavorful, family-friendly, and easy hearty meal to make. And this is by far the best stroganoff I have ever had. Anyone I serve it to asks for the recipe. With the new year approaching, many are trying to eat foods with a fewer calories or carbs.

I’ve made this recipe in a variety of ways. I added lower fat and low carb ingredients/substitutions as options for those with diet restrictions. Even using many of the substitutions I have tried, this stroganoff still ends up tasting delicious!

Before we begin with the directions, let me just say that stroganoff is not a pretty meal and is very difficult to photograph and make look good. However, it is amazingly delicious! So in this case, the age-old-adage of not judging a book by its cover could be rephrased to, “Don’t judge a stroganoff recipe by its photo.”  

Now that I’ve got the ugly-food-photo-disclosure out of the way, let’s begin cooking…

Directions

1. Get a large saucepan/skillet and turn stove on to medium heat.
   
2. Brown ground beef or turkey and onion. Drain off fat.
   
   
3. Add seasonings, soup and milk. Simmer 20 minutes on medium heat. Stir frequently.
   
   
4. Add sour cream and heat through on low-medium heat.
   
   
5. Serve over noodles or mashed potatoes. For a carb and calorie-friendly version try serving it over canned (drained and heated) french cut green beans.
   
   

I hope you give this hearty beef or turkey stroganoff a try. It won’t disappoint.

Enjoy.
