Everyone loves a recipe that can be made in one pot, and this turkey stroganoff recipe fits the bill!
I love a classic stroganoff recipe and wanted to create a twist for leftover turkey (or even ground turkey)! Tender meat simmered in a seasoned sour cream sauce is perfect over egg noodles for a hearty meal.
One-Pot Perfection!
- This quick dish saves time, energy, and kitchen cleanup! It’s a one-dish wonder that everyone loves.
- It’s such a versatile dish, perfect for mixing in favorite ingredients, leftover veggies or swapping out turkey for ground turkey or even chicken.
- It can be served over rice, potatoes, noodles, or even made on its own.
Ingredients and Variations
VEGETABLES With just a few veggies like onions and mushrooms add great savory flavor. Fresh mushrooms add rich flavor to the sauce when cooked.
MEAT This recipe can easily make use of leftover turkey either roasted or ground, or even meatballs. Of course, leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken work too.
EGG NOODLES Egg noodles are easy to find, but they are also fun and delicious when hand-made. This is also great over mashed potatoes or rice.
How to Make Turkey Stroganoff
Turkey Stroganoff is as easy to make as 1, 2, 3!
- Soften butter in a large skillet, sauté mushrooms with aromatics (onions/garlic). Add add wine and reduce. Remove mixture from skillet.
- Make the sauce in the same skillet by adding chicken broth to a bit of flour and butter.
- Stir in remaining ingredients (per the recipe below) plus the mushrooms & simmer.
- Remove stroganoff sauce from heat, stir in sour cream. Serve over noodles and enjoy!
Tips & Time Savers
- Using leftover cooked turkey (or chicken) makes this recipe a real timesaver.
- Canned mushroom soup can be used in place of fresh in a pinch.
- When adding the mushrooms back to the sauce, be sure to include including the juices to add flavor!
- Remove the sauce from the heat before adding sour cream. Sour cream can curdle if overheated.
Reheating Leftovers
- Leftover turkey stroganoff will keep in the refrigerator, covered, for about 3 days.
- Store the pasta separately and combine once reheated.
Leftover stroganoff can be frozen but freezes best without the sour cream. Sour cream will taste just fine once thawed but the texture can change very slightly.

Can’t wait to try this when my mom comes to visit. I’ll be making a turkey breast and I know I’ll have leftovers. She’ll love this.
Enjoy the recipe Shery!
Going to make a second batch this week bc first turned out great! I cooked the turkey meat with fresh thyme and rosemary, garlic, smoked sea salt and pepper. I usually switch out heavy cream, which I did here with evaporated goat milk, and also used Greek yogurt instead of sour cream at the end and it turned out SUBLIME! Thank you for this recipe :)
I also switched flour out for almond flour
So happy that the swap worked! Thanks for sharing.
Sounds delicious, thanks for sharing your substitutions, Jess!
Wonderful flavor. I always have extra fresh herbs after holidays, so it’s nice to find a recipe to use them in. I left out the sour cream, but the flavor is still fantastic without it.
That sounds great, Renee! This recipe is such a yummy way to use up those extra herbs.
Delicious! Just made. Recipe for us needs salt and pepper. Otherwise perfect!
So glad you enjoyed it, Meredith!
