Make good use of leftover Thanksgiving turkey with this easy, saucy turkey mushroom stroganoff.
While stroganoff is typically made with beef, leftover turkey is an excellent protein alternative. The addition of baby bella mushrooms, a little white wine and a few herbs and spices gives this dish an earthy deep flavor.
After spending all day in the kitchen on Thanksgiving day I really need a day off. This recipe takes 30 minutes from pan to plate. It’s the perfect dinner.
Some turkey stroganoff recipes can be bland but not this one.
Intensely flavored baby bella mushrooms, robust paprika and fragrant herbs de Provence transform this dish into something savory.
Stroganoff calls for sour cream but swap it out for plain Greek yogurt if you are looking for a healthier alternative.
