Healthy Ground Turkey Stroganoff

This morning I definitely felt a cooler breeze in the air. So that can only mean one thing: time for warming comfort food! My Healthy Ground Turkey Stroganoff is light and super satisfying. You can also make this dish in under 30 minutes. I love easy quick meals during the week to make.

I choose to use ground turkey for this recipe to make it lighter. You can use also use ground chicken, extra lean ground beef or even plant based ground meat alternative. You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt. Full-fat Greek yogurt works the best. Do whatever makes you happy!

Keep it classic and serve the Healthy Ground Turkey Stroganoff sauce over egg noodles for an easy weeknight meal. You can also serve it over rice, pasta or mashed potatoes. I  always have a list of one-pot meals that I can throw together on those days when I don’t feel like cooking and this is easier than you think to make.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED:

Ground Turkey– you can also use extra lean ground beef, or ground chicken or vegan alternative
