Beef Stroganoff with Mushrooms, serve it over rice or noodles and it is a dinner win! My favorite is serving it over egg noodles! This is something we would have for dinner at least one night a week when I lived at home! Now, you can make it in your apartments, for your families, or take to a meal to someone to share!

Can you make Beef stroganoff with mushrooms using ground turkey?

Yes! We like to use ground turkey and fresh mushrooms rather than canned ones as our base. Ground turkey is great because it is leaner meat, which makes it a healthier option.

You can also make this recipe with ground beef if that is a flavor you prefer!

We love using fresh mushrooms because they are so soft and tender and create a blast of flavor! You can also make this recipe with canned mushrooms too.

This beef stroganoff with sour cream is so delicious!

How do I thicken stroganoff?  

When it comes to making our simple beef stroganoff, we have a secret tip for you! This tip my mom has used for years and it’s awesome!

We like our sauce nice and thick so it really coats the noodles. Sometimes when we follow our recipe and make it, it doesn’t always thicken up nicely. We can fix that!

We make a quick rue with melted butter and flour to help it thicken. Once the flour and butter are smooth, we add them back into the pot, and boom! Perfectly thick sauce!

There is your new kitchen hack for the day!   

What do I serve this ground turkey and mushroom stroganoff over?

Like I said before, you can serve Turkey Mushroom Stroganoff over rice or noodles! Our favorite is over egg noodles!

A great thing about egg noodles is that they are low in fat! We like to even out this recipe and keep it on the lighter side and this is one way that we do it!

Since we are added sour cream to the sauce, we don’t want to add fats to our noodles! Egg noodles are also protein-rich from the egg.

Brown rice is also a healthy alternative base for this recipe if you are not a noodle fan!
