Ground Turkey Stroganoff Ingredients
- Ground Turkey: I chose ground turkey for a lighter option to this typical heavy meal. You can also use ground beef if you prefer.
- White Mushrooms: Fresh white mushrooms work best. You could also use a combination of mushrooms such as white , baby bellas and cremini.
- Cream of Mushroom Soup: Adds to the creamy, savory and comforting taste of this family dinnertime staple. You can also use cream of chicken soup in a pinch.
- Beef Broth: You can use vegetable broth or chicken broth if you are out of beef broth.
- Sour Cream: This gets added in at the very end for an extra creamy sauce. It’s optional, but we always add it in! No sour cream? You can use heavy cream or Greek yogurt instead.
- Noodles: We love this ground turkey stroganoff served with tender egg noodles but you can really serve it with any noodle you like, or even rice!

Tips for Making Ground Turkey Stroganoff
- Sauté the mushrooms, onions and garlic together. Don’t be shy on the mushrooms, add more if you prefer!
- If you don’t have onions, shallots lend great flavor to stroganoff as well. They are more delicate in flavor.
- Stir in the sour cream at the end, right before serving. No sour cream? You can use Greek yogurt! Place some sour cream on the table too for anyone who wants an extra dollop.
- Serve ground turkey stroganoff with with any pasta shape you prefer, or even rice. Garnish with your desired toppings as well.

I make this when my husband is out of town (he is not a stroganoff fan), Kids and I love it. Easy to make.
yayyyy thank you so much! I am glad:)
I love that this is a light bit lighter of a take on a traditional stroganoff. Crock pot meal is an added bonus! Definitely a favorite in our house hold!
Thank you so much Ashlyn! My husband requests this one frequently too hehe. xo, Tawnie
I made this last night. I added some spinach and extra mushrooms. My sauce turned out very watery despite draining the meat. I used reduced fat sour cream, not sure if that is the reason but I would use full fat next time!
Hi Ashley! So Sorry the sauce was watery. I haven’t had that issue before! Was the spinach frozen or fresh?
No sure of your diatery goals/requirements but I add a bit of flour or cornstarch and it helped to thicken mine up a bit. 🙂
This was very good! I used lower sodium soup and beef broth to cut down on the salt. I also used plenty of fresh ground pepper. Delish!
mmmm, I am so glad! Thank you Holly!!
Easy and yum yum yummy!! Accidentally forgot the “slow-cooker” part and prepared on the stove…still easy and delish. I’m not usually a stroganoff fan but I’m hooked on this particular recipe now.
Hi Janine! Thank you so much 🙂 Glad you enjoyed it!! xo, Tawnie
