There is something so satisfying to me about stroganoff dishes. Mushrooms, meat, and noodles in a creamy sauce–what’s not to love? And all in one pot for easy cleanup.

I always have a list of one-pot meals that I can throw together on those days when I don’t feel like cooking.

Takeout seems like the best option after a long day, but a dish like this takes less time than it does to order and wait for that “fast food.” And you feel much better about your decision the next day!

My Beef Stroganoff Bubble-Up is a favorite, but I wanted to go with something more like the classic dish. This is honestly so easy to make and packed full of nutritious ingredients.

Just look at all of the creamy goodness! It totally brings me back to my college years, eating Hamburger Helper to save money.

When Jeff and I first started dating, we were so broke that we made Hamburger Helper using chopped up hotdogs because we couldn’t afford ground meat. I DO NOT advise doing that. Lol.

But I do like a budget-friendly and easy meal, which is why I can appreciate products like Hamburger Helper.

Honestly, though, this One-Pot Turkey Stroganoff is still inexpensive, easy, and–best of all–much healthier for you than the boxed stuff. You really can’t beat a one-pot meal like this one.

WHAT DO I NEED TO MAKE ONE-POT TURKEY STROGANOFF?

Most of the ingredients are pantry staples. Make sure you have the following ingredients on hand to throw this together, even if you didn’t plan to:

PANTRY

  • 8 ounces egg noodles
  • 1 box of fat-free chicken stock
  • Worcestershire sauce
  • Flour
  • 1 Onion
  • Garlic cloves
  • Paprika, dried thyme, kosher salt, ground black pepper

REFRIGERATOR

  • Nonfat, plain Green yogurt
  • Light cream cheese

These are all ingredients that I always have on hand, so all I need to pick up at the store is 99% Fate free ground turkey and 10 ounces of mushrooms.

I tend to buy ground turkey on sale and freeze it, so chances are I’ll even have the turkey already. Just pick up some mushrooms and I’m good to go!

Another great plus–the leftovers are even better than the first time you make it! So this is a great lunch-prep recipe as well.

I’d love to hear from you if you make this recipe! It makes my day when you share your pics on Instagram and tag me (@litecravings). Don’t forget to use #litecravingsrecipes to make sure I see it. If I don’t get a chance to scroll through my tags quickly enough, I won’t see your post. I always make a point to look through the hashtags, though, so I’ll see it there.

Why is beef stroganoff so good? ›

Stroganoff sauce is a sour cream gravy made with beef broth that's thickened with flour. It's flavoured with mustard and has mushrooms in it. I love the pale brown creamy colour against the deep golden brown seared beef!

What is a good substitute for sour cream in stroganoff? ›

Greek yogurt is a healthy alternative to the traditionally used sour cream in beef stroganoff recipes, so you can be confident that your family is getting a satisfying, healthy meal. Fresh dill and paprika will provide a sweet, slightly smoky garnish to top off the dish.

Can I use sour cream instead of cream in soup? ›

Sour cream is an easy replacement for heavy cream. It can be easily stirred into a dish and offers another flavor profile to soups, stews and sauces. Plus, using it as a heavy cream substitute is a great way to use up that lingering tub in the fridge.
