Sommer's Stroganoff - Ibs Safe
"One of my many favorite comfort foods is beef stroganoff. I now suffer from IBS and can no longer tolerate traditional stroganoff recipes, which is just like nearly every other food I grew up on that my mother cooked that I loved. Here is a recipe that I threw together with the ingredients I had on hand and with what I understood tasted well together. This was also an experiment to see if I could make some type of a stroganoff substitute. I didn't have any sour cream substitute so I thought I'd see if the bit of cream cheese substitute would be of any interest. As with all my posted recipes, a lot of the ingredients are estimated to the best of my ability, and I use ingredients that I can afford and that are tailored as best as posible to what I need for my IBS diet. Also, as usual, feel free to modify the recipe to your needs and tastes. The end product was a teeny bit soupy, but there should be enough noodles to soak up the soup, especially if you serve this with some bread on the side. I hope you enjoy my creation. :)"

- Ready In:
- 25mins
- Ingredients:
- 9
- Serves:
-
4-6
ingredients
- 1 1⁄4 lbs lean ground turkey (the leaner, the better)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1⁄2 - 3⁄4 cup chopped white onion
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 2 cups sliced white mushrooms (I used the presliced white mushrooms bought from the produce section)
- 12 ounces uncooked pasta (usually stroganoff is made with egg noodles. I have to use No Yolks. They come in 8oz packages)
- 24 ounces creamy portabella mushroom soup (Imagine is a brand of non-dairy cream of soup substitute)
- 1 tablespoon tofutti better-than-cream-cheese (or other subsitutute, I recommend Tofutti brand Better Than Cream Cheese)
directions
- Brown the ground turkey with the onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until meat is completely done. Drain and set aside in a small bowl.
- Meanwhile, saute the sliced mushrooms in as little margarine as necessary.
- Cook the No Yolks per package directions in a large pot, except cook them until al dente.
- When the mushrooms are done, set them aside wrapped in a double layer of paper towels in a bowl to absorb any extra margarine.
- Drain the No Yolks and rinse with hot water as directed on the package.
- In the large pot used to boil the noodles in, add the browned ground turkey mixture, sauteed mushrooms, drained noodles, the Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese, and the soup. Mix well and heat on high to a gentle boil, stirring often. Serve immediately.

So good and easy to make! -
We liked this a lot. We skipped the turkey entirely and used baby bellas instead of white mushrooms. We also sauteed the mushrooms and onions together. It was a little plain, but in a light and comfort food-ish sort of way. Oh ya, we used fresh garlic. -
We used a regular can of cream of mushroom soup and Neufchatel cheese. While this is very simple to put together, we did have to season it up a bit with a dash of thyme and some Worchestershire sauce. -
This is a very tasty and quick recipe. I made this yesterday afternoon before going to work on the evening shift. It was a nice quick meal to put together and leave for my son's supper. Because it's just the two of us, this recipe makes two meals for us. I put half in the freezer for another day. I couldn't find the Tofutti cream cheese substitute or the Imagine Soup, so I used regular cream cheese and Campbell's Mushroom Soup. I also used No Yolks whole wheat noodles. The flavor was wonderful!

Newest update March 28, 2008; I am so grateful and excited. A wonderful, generous, kind anonymous person gifted me with PM and I can't wait to use all the features. Thank you! I might add a couple notes or links to my page here such as forums I frequent, fave searches, and helpful info. Update March 2008: I was given the opportunity to join my very first recipe swap (I added the banner below, thanks Um Safia) This swap was really fun, interesting, and helpful. Lots of great recipes to choose from and lots of exposure for my own. I thought I'd update this a bit. It's April of 2007 already (wow!) and I might have written the stuff below at least a year ago, and longer. I live in AZ, with a roommate and a nice boyfriend. My roommate has only tried my cooking once, but my bf, bless his heart, tries really hard to tolerate it, lol! He's a good cook in his own right, but me, I'm still a newbie cook at heart. I still enjoy 'zaar and sometimes spend hours and hours on here, as it's still friendly, helpful, and interesting. :) Also, this is late in saying, but I'm supposed to be on an IBS-safe diet consisting of no dairy, egg yolks, caffeine, red meat, too much fat, everything I love, etc.... so I'm working on it, it's taking me years and years, but I've incorporated this kind of diet into my other eating, and if my tummy gets mad at me, well, I only have me to blame. :/
I've been married for almost two years and it's the first time I get to really cook for someone other than myself. (Hehe, I signed up with here not too long after I wrote this, now I'm separated - not because of my cooking lol - but surprisingly found myself again, acting as 'housewife'.) I'm not a great cook, but I do follow after my mother, who tends to estimte her ingredients and taste as she goes, but she and my sister are two of the best cooks I know. The best rule of thumb for seasonings is always add too little, you can always add more, but can't always take away if there's too much. I mostly try other recipes I find, but now and then experiment with whatever I have available if I can't get to the store or am broke, and sometimes come up with pretty good recipes. I also have a hard time cooking usually, it takes me longer than most people as I am legally blind and have no depth perception so sometimes it's hard for me to measure and prepare food. Any of the recipes I post might be estimated unless otherwise stated. Sorry for the inconvenience. :) I found this place doing one of my recipe searches. It looks like a fun place to get recipes. Take care all and happy cooking! :)
