Ingredients
 

For the Stroganoff Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons salted butter
  • 8 ounces button mushrooms sliced
  • ½ medium sweet onion chopped
  • 2 teaspoons garlic minced
  • 1 cup flavorful turkey gravy reduced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • ½ teaspoon ground savory
  • teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 cups shredded turkey a mixture of white and dark
  • 2 cups sour cream
  • 1 cup low sodium chicken stock

For the Egg Noodles

  • 6 ounces wide egg noodles
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Garnish

  • cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • cup freshly chopped parsley

Instructions

  • Reduce the leftover gravy by boiling it down to intensify the flavor. 
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium high heat until shimmering. Sauté the mushrooms for 4 minutes, then add the onions and cook until soft. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add the gravy and spices to the mushroom mixture, then add the shredded turkey.  Stir in the chicken stock a little at a time to thin the sauce.  Simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat and stir in the sour cream until well mixed. If needed, adjust the seasonings by adding more salt, pepper, or thyme to taste.
  • Bring a medium-sized pot of salted water to a boil, then add the wide egg noodles and cook according to package directions.  Drain the noodles, then toss them with a little olive oil or butter so they don't stick together.
  • Spoon ⅔ cup of sauce over a pile of egg noodles.  Serve warm.
  • Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley for additional flavor and color. 

Notes

  • Use ground turkey or roasted chicken if you don't have leftover turkey.
  • Serve over spaghetti squash or zucchini noddles if you want to make it low carb.
  • Don't have any leftover gravy? Make some with equal parts butter and flour then add chicken stock and spices.
