Directions
-
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground turkey, breaking it apart with a spoon.
-
Add the sliced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the turkey.
-
Sauté the turkey, onion, and garlic mixture until the turkey is browned and the onions are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
-
Stir in the paprika, dill weed, and sliced mushrooms.
-
Continue cooking until the mushrooms begin to release their moisture and soften, about 3-4 minutes.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the skim milk, flour, and beef bouillon granules until smooth and no lumps remain.
-
Pour the milk mixture into the skillet with the meat and mushroom mixture.
-
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
-
Let the sauce simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until it has thickened and the mushrooms are tender.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the non-fat sour cream until fully incorporated.

Note
For a richer flavor, you can substitute the skim milk with whole milk or add a splash of dry white wine when sautéing the mushrooms.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can increase the amount of flour slightly, but be careful not to make it too gloopy.
This dish can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of milk if needed to loosen the sauce.
Feel free to use any type of mushroom you like, such as button, cremini, or portobello.
For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free flour blend and gluten-free pasta.
