Jump to RecipeThis creamy Leftover Turkey Stroganoff is perfect for using up holiday turkey leftovers, as well as leftover chicken meat! The bite size chunks of turkey are combined with earthy toned mushrooms for a lighter take on the classic beef stroganoff!
Creamy, delicious leftover turkey stroganoff is a flavorful pasta meal to use up cooked turkey! Leftover Turkey Stroganoff Recipe I’m always looking for great ways to use up my family’s holiday meal leftovers, and this stroganoff recipe is a real winner with enthusiastic thumbs up from everyone! It’s a wonderful meal with pulled chicken from any whole roasted chickens you may have cooked, or leftovers from a rotisserie chicken too! This easy turkey stroganoff is using a combination of white and dark meat from a summertime roasted turkey ( turkey is such an affordable protein that I cook it frequently throughout the year ). The mushrooms are optional, but I’m outvoted here at home! Both my husband and daughter love the addition of the mushrooms, and your favorite mushroom variety will work ( white or cremini (baby bella) mushrooms ). How To Make Leftover Turkey Stroganoff Start out with heating a large skillet or non-stick frying pan, with the olive oil and butter, to medium high heat. The skillet should be large enough to hold a fair amount of liquid. Once the butter has melted, add the finely minced onion and sauté for 2 - 3 minutes or until becoming translucent or slightly clear in appearance. Add the garlic and mushrooms and continue to cook for about 2 - 3 minutes. The garlic should be fragrant and the mushrooms should be slightly browned. Use the white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping off the browned bits in your skillet or frying pan. These ‘bits’ are called ‘fond’ and they are the base of an amazing gravy! *If you don’t have white wine, you can also use a dry cooking sherry. Also, if you don’t cook with wine you can substitute an additional amount of turkey or chicken stock for the wine. Cook the onion, wine, garlic and mushrooms for about 2 minutes then stir in the Dijon mustard and smoked paprika ( paprika or Spanish paprika ). Reduce your heat to medium low and stir in the all-purpose flour. I usually stir the flour in pretty vigorously, getting it incorporated into the pan liquids quickly. *To avoid lumps, you can add some cold or room temperature turkey or chicken broth to the flour. Stir until smooth, then stir into the gravy base in your skillet. Next, add in the turkey stock or chicken broth. Mix until the sauce is well blended then continue cooking over medium low heat for 3 - 5 minutes. The sauce should thicken slightly during this cooking time. One of the final things you add will be the Worcestershire sauce and the chopped or chunked leftover turkey meat. Mix these into the sauce and cook for about 5 minutes. The turkey should be fully warmed through and the sauce should have a ‘stick to your spoon’ thickened consistency. Finish the leftover turkey stroganoff by removing the skillet from heat and stirring in the sour cream. Season with salt and pepper, taste and adjust as needed. *Alternatives to sour cream are Greek yogurt ( plain, unflavored ) and heavy whipping cream. Serve over a bed of white or brown rice, or cooked egg noodles. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired. Enjoy your stroganoff with a simple side salad or some steamed veggies for a complete family dinner!
Ground turkey meat can also be used in this recipe, simply brown the meat and transfer to a bowl while you continue with the instructions below. Looking for more tasty Thanksgiving turkey leftover ideas? Try some of my other turkey recipes to make great use of your holiday leftovers!
