on 7/11/2006 I make stroganoff a little differently. I start off cooking 2 minced garlic cloves in oil or butter. I then add chopped onion and green pepper. After a couple of minutes I add my ground turkey and spices. I like to use a lot of garlic powder and oregano, pepper, and a little cumin. When the meat is nearly completely done, I add sliced mushrooms in abundance. A couple of minutes after that, I add cream of mushroom soup. This is great over noodles, potatoes, or rice.

on 11/22/2005 Because we cannot eat a full steak at dinner, we use our leftover steaks to make Stroganoff! Try adding sour cream and mushroom soup!

on 11/22/2005 I find that cream of mushroom, golden mushroom
and beefy mushroom soups are good if you
cannot find mushrooms. Just mix in with the meat
as is.

with a can of cream of mushroom
soup works really well.
