Easy Beef Stroganoff

Please excuse the bowl in the picture. I had started eating this delicious meal when I realized I needed to take a picture for the blog. The recipe calls for 90% lean ground beef but what I had in the fridge had expired so I used ground turkey instead and thought that it was delicious. Here's the recipe:

4 1/2 cups uncooked yolk-free noodles
1 lb lean ground beef (90%)
1 large onion, halved and sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp reduced-fat butter
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 can (14 1/2 oz) reduced sodium beef broth
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 cup (8 oz) fat-free sour cream
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Cook noodles according to package directions. Meanwhile in a large saucepan, cook the beef, mushrooms and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink. Add garlic and cook 1 minute longer. Drain. Remove and keep warm.

In the same pan, melt butter. Sitr in flour until smooth, gradually add broth and tomato paste. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.

Carefully return beef mixture to the pan. Add the sour cream, salt and pepper; cook and stir until heated through (do not boil). Drain noodles; serve with beef mixture.

2/3 cup beef mixture + 3/4 cup noodles= 6 servings
