Ground Turkey Stroganoff Casserole

I like beef stroganoff, my mom used to make it occasionally when I was growing up. I have made a take on beef stroganoff when I made Stroganoff Spaghetti and Meatballs. But I have never made beef stroganoff, since we don't eat a lot of red meat. I have always thought about just swapping out the ground beef for ground turkey like I normally do, but then it would technically not be beef stroganoff.

So when I happened upon this baked ground beef stroganoff casserole topped with cheese I decided to take the plunge and make it a ground turkey stroganoff.

It turned out delicious! It was creamy and flavorful like stroganoff is suppose to be and we all love the addition of the cheese on top.

You can make this with ground turkey or you can make it more traditional and use ground beef instead, but either way you decided to make it, it is worth making.
