Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground turkey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup full-fat sour cream
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 8 oz egg noodles, cooked
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook egg noodles according to package directions, pulling them out about 1 minute early. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey and cook for 6 to 8 minutes until browned, breaking apart with a wooden spoon. Season with salt and pepper. Drain excess fat and transfer turkey to a plate.
  3. In the same skillet, add chopped onion and sliced mushrooms. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes until softened and mushroom liquid has fully evaporated.
  4. Add minced garlic and dried thyme. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 1 minute to remove raw flour taste.
  6. Gradually whisk in beef broth, scraping up any browned bits. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until sauce thickens enough to coat a spoon.
  7. Remove skillet completely from heat. Stir in sour cream and Dijon mustard slowly until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper. Do not return to a boil after this step.
  8. Return cooked ground turkey to the skillet and stir to coat evenly in the sauce.
  9. Serve over warm egg noodles and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • Always remove the skillet from heat before adding sour cream to prevent curdling. Never let the sauce boil after sour cream is added.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute cornstarch for flour and serve over gluten-free pasta or rice.
  • Use a mix of cremini and shiitake mushrooms for deeper flavor.
  • If freezing, leave out the sour cream and stir it in fresh when reheating. Store noodles separately to prevent them from going mushy.
  • Drain the turkey well after browning to keep the sauce silky rather than greasy.
