Turkey Stroganoff

Submitted by Julie Twitchell

Now don't look away. You might think this sounds weird, or even yucky. But it turned out really good. We have been trying to eat healthier at our house. Smith's had their ground turkey on sale the last few weeks and we stocked up. So then I was trying to think of ways to use it. Basically it can replace ground beef in any recipe--some of you might totally disagree with that. Oh well, difference in opinions in a good thing--right? Anyway, I concocted this recipe last week and it turned out pretty good. I even used a roux--I am so proud. Enough talk, here you go.

• 1 pound ground turkey
• 2 TB olive oil
• 2 TB flour
• 2-3 Cup milk
• 2-4 TB cream cheese or sour cream
• 1 TB worchestershire sauce
• 1 tsp. garlic powder
• 1 tsp. onion powder
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. black pepper
• 1/2 pkg. of no yoke egg noodles

1. Brown turkey in a medium sauce pan over medium heat.


2. Add olive oil and let it warm up, and then add the flour. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. This cooks the flour taste out.


3. Turn stove down to a simmer; slowly adding the milk. It will start to thicken in about 3-5 minutes. If it gets too thick, you can add more milk. Add cream cheese or sour cream. Then add spices to your liking. Serve over cooked pasta.
