Delicious Ground Beef {or Turkey} Stroganoff
Description
Delicious Ground Beef or Turkey Stroganoff starts with browning ground meat cooked alongside onions, garlic, and sliced mushrooms. The cream cheese melts into the hot mixture, creating a mild creaminess, while a broth and milk mixture with flour helps thicken the sauce. Sour cream is stirred in at the end to add a smooth tanginess and enrich the sauce.
This stroganoff dish offers a savory and creamy texture, combining the earthiness of mushrooms with tender ground meat. It is versatile and can be served over cooked egg noodles or rice, balancing the rich sauce and providing a comforting meal.
The recipe allows choice of lean beef or turkey. Adjust salt and pepper to taste after cooking. The gradual incorporation of cream cheese and sour cream ensures a smooth sauce without curdling.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds ground beef lean, or turkey
- 1 small onion chopped (about 1/2 cup)
- 1 clove garlic finely minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 8 ounces white mushrooms sliced
- 4 ounces cream cheese cubed, light
- 2 cups beef broth low-sodium
- ½ cup milk lowfat
- 3 tablespoons flour
- ½ cup sour cream light
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- egg noodles cooked, for serving
- rice cooked, for serving
Instructions
- In a large nonstick skillet, cook the meat, onion, garlic, salt and pepper, on medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to break up the meat into small pieces, until the meat is almost cooked through but still slightly pink, about 5 minutes. Drain excess grease. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until the mushrooms are soft and browned and the meat is cooked through, another 5 minutes or so.
- Add the cubed cream cheese and let the cream cheese melt over medium heat, about 2-3 minutes, before stirring in. Mix gently until the cream cheese is incorporated throughout the meat mixture. In a large liquid measuring cup, combine the beef broth and milk. Whisk in the flour until the mixture is smooth and there are no lumps of flour remaining.
- Stir the beef broth/milk mixture into the meat and cook over medium or medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Let the mixture bubble and simmer until slightly thickened, 3-4 minutes. Stir in the sour cream and add additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve over cooked egg noodles or hot, cooked rice. Sprinkle each serving with fresh parsley, if desired.
