Turkey stroganoff, an old Russian standby, can be made with turkey breast meat or leftover homemade cooked turkey. If you use cooked turkey, add about 2 cups at the end of the recipe. This will allow it to warm through in the sauce. The mixture of mushrooms, tomato paste and mustard gives the stroganoff sauce a tangy blend of flavors and a thick texture. It tastes even better the next day. If you have time, double the recipe and save the extra for another quick dinner.
Helpful Hints:
_ Diced fresh onions can be found in the produce section of the supermarket.
_ Any type of mushrooms can be used.
_ Use a skillet that is just big enough to hold the meat in one layer. The sauce will boil away in a larger skillet.
