Turkey Stroganoff
This turkey stroganoff is a twist on our Chicken Stroganoff and Mushroom Stroganoff recipe. It’s made with ground turkey, mushrooms, garlic, and paprika in a creamy sour cream sauce. The sauce is so flavorful and quick to make!
Keep it classic and serve the stroganoff sauce over egg noodles for an easy weeknight meal. But it’s also good over rice, mashed potatoes, or cauliflower mash.
What is Stroganoff Sauce Made Of?
The stroganoff sauce is made of very basic ingredients. Here are the ingredients you will need:
- Onions
- Mushrooms
- Ground turkey
- Garlic
- Paprika
- Chicken broth
- Flour
- Worcestershire sauce
- Sour cream
- Parsley
You’ll also need butter and olive oil for cooking the mushrooms and ground turkey.
Substitute for Sour Cream
You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt. Full-fat Greek yogurt works the best.
Tips & Recipe Notes
Before you get started, here are a few tips and notes worth mentioning:
- Use good quality full-fat sour cream. It’s going to taste good and less likely to curdle.
- To avoid curdling, stir in the sour cream off heat or keep the pan on the stove and add the sour cream while stirring constantly. Make sure not to boil it!
- I like baby bellas but white mushrooms work too.
- Taste and season the sauce as you go.
- Serve sauce over noodles instead of mixing both together. Otherwise, the noodles soak up all of the sauce. Store leftovers separately in airtight containers.
How to Make Ground Turkey Stroganoff Recipe
In a large non-stick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions and mushrooms. Cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove to a plate.
Increase the heat to medium-high. Add olive oil to the pan. When hot, add the ground turkey. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until crumbled and browned. Stir in garlic and paprika. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add chicken broth to a measuring cup or a small bowl and gradually whisk in the flour until smooth. Add to the pan. It will come to a quick simmer.
Stir in mushrooms and add Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Reduce heat to a medium and simmer for about 3 minutes or until thickened.
Immediately off heat, gently stir in the sour cream and parsley. Serve the sauce over cooked egg noodles.

Easy and great recipe! It came out awesome ! Nice touch too with Cook Mode to prevent screen from going dark 👏
Thank you! I appreciate that.
An excellent recipe, the flavors go very well together, I added a little red pepper flakes, did not use butter, olive oil was enough. Used bowtie pasta.
But instead of parsley …..used fresh basil, very good!
the best! this is my go to recipe for stroganoff and it never disappoints. I love the mix of onions, mushrooms and so much rich flavor.
Thank you Greg! I’m so glad you’re loving this recipe.
My family loved this! They said it was the best stroganoff I’ve made and asked me to follow THIS recipe every time.
Thank you so much!
We paired this with mashed potatoes and it was super delicious!! By far one of the best stroganoff recipes I’ve had! Super easy to make too.
That sounds delicious! Thank you for the feedback.
Absolutely delicious!!! I added a can of cream of mushroom that I needed to use up, I used low fat sour cream, and instead of mushrooms I used umami spice *to taste from target. I also followed the suggestion another had and added a total of 1 tablespoon paprika. This is INCREDIBLE!!! Try it! WOWWWWW
Thank you for posting this recipe!!!!
Signed- a very picky eater 😊
Quick and tasty. Added pinch of red chillies for little kick.
This was so delicious! A yummy spin on a traditional beef stroganoff. I would definitely make this again!
Thank you for the recipe! I added a little bit of heavy cream because I wanted to use it up and my kids gobbled it up! I served it with mashed potatoes because my daughter had a sore jaw due to her braces being adjusted. I will have to try it with noodles next time. 🙂
This is delicious. I used nonfat Greek yogurt in place of sour cream, scaled back the butter and oil, and used Trader Joe’s mushroom umami seasoning because I don’t like the texture of mushrooms. Will definitely make again.
This is a _great_ base recipe. I messed up and added the garlic too soon but husband still loved it. for the 2nd batch, I doubled the worchestershire and add a Tbsp of Dijon. it kicked up the flavor a bit.
I’ve tried several recipes for turkey stroganoff and this was the best by far! I added some dijon mustard and served over homemade Amish noodles. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much Angie! That makes me happy to hear.
Can I sub plain Greek yogurt for the sour cream?
I haven’t tried Greek yogurt in this recipe but a few of my readers used Greek yogurt and it turned out fine in a similar recipe (https://www.littlebroken.com/chicken-stroganoff/).
Has anyone tried using beef broth instead of chicken to give it more of a beef stroganoff taste?
It should be fine with beef broth
Oh my is this good. So happy and cheap ingredients fed 4 dishes and had left over noodles to feed the dogs. Just perfect. Followed the directions. Used cilantro in place of parsley.
Very good! I substituted almond milk and lemon juice for the sour cream. Thank you!
Really good. My new favorite recipe for turkey stroganoff. Followed the suggestion in an earlier comment, and upped the paprika to a tablespoon, otherwise as written. Thanks for sharing this!
Quite the best recipe I have seen for turkey stroganoff. Delicious flavors. I used a tablespoon of Hungarian Paprika, and served over German spaetzle egg noodles.
Thank you! I appreciate your feedback.
The recipe proved to be excellent. My family enjoyed it very much. It was fairly easy to put together and included ingredients I just happened to have available.
My family (including my very picky kids) loved it–no leftovers in sight! I’m the only one who eats mushrooms, so I made it without and it was still good. I added a teaspoon or so of Goya seasoning to add a little complexity; next time I may also try to add a little sage to give a bit more body to the sauce but it wasn’t lacking at all. We did some garlic bread along with it to make use of a fresh baguette we happened to have and everyone’s tummy was very happy!
So happy to hear that! Thank you so much for the feedback Lauren!
