This was tonight's dinner, along with a nice green salad with the usual salad toppings (marinated olives, marinated garlic, croutons, etc., etc.) - quick, easy, delicious.
Breezy Ground Chicken or Turkey Faux Stroganoff
1 pkg. ground chicken or turkey
1 small or ½ medium/large yellow onion, peeled & chopped
8 ounces Cremini mushrooms, rinsed & sliced thickly
4 tablespoons butter
¾ cup chicken broth (I used Swanson’s)
¼ cup dry sherry (Taylor’s here)
16 ounces sour cream (regular – not low-fat or fat-free)
Approx. 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon of dried
Coarse salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste
Flat-leaf Italian parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Whole-wheat or regular egg noodles, cooked according to package directions
In a skillet large enough to hold all ingredients except noodles, melt butter & add chopped onion. Saute until soft & “just” starting to brown. Add sliced mushrooms & sauté until softened & releasing liquid. Remove to a bowl & set aside. Add ground chicken to pan & sauté until no longer pink. Add mushroom mixture back in, along with chicken broth, sherry, salt, & pepper, & simmer for 5-10 minutes. Taste for seasoning. Gently stir in sour cream until thoroughly combined, & cook until heated through. Check again for seasoning & serve over noodles, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
