Lightened-Up Beef & Turkey Stroganoff

Stroganoff has always been a meal I've enjoyed. I remember my mom making it often when I was young.  It continues to be a family favorite! My kids, husband and I all enjoy it.  I've taken a family favorite and lightened it up a bit. Lean meat, light sour cream, no butter — but lots of flavor!!  Traditionally stroganoff is served over egg noodles or rice. But for a more macro friendly {i.e. lower carb – save the carbs for ice cream :)} meal you can serve it over cauliflower rice, steamed broccoli, or spaghetti squash.  (Macros in MFP are for the stroganoff only, not rice/noodles etc)

This also makes great leftovers. The recipe serves 8, but can easily be halved.  I love having extra  leftovers for lunch or dinner later in the week.

Hope you enjoy this family favorite!
