Pressure Cooker Ground Turkey Stroganoff is a rich and creamy, multi-layer flavorful and easy recipe. A One Pot Comfort Meat, at its best. There is a Low Carb, Gluten Free Option too!
Pressure Cooker Ground Turkey Stroganoff is a quick, one pot Stroganoff meal.
Using Ground Turkey (or other ground meat, like beef), allows the Egg Noodles to be cooked at the same time and in the same pot.
For a more traditional Pressure Cooker Beef Stroganoff recipe, check out the recipe in my This Old Gal Pressure Cooker Cookbook.
If you prefer Ground Beef Stroganoff, use Ground Beef. If you like Bison, use Bison. And so on and so forth. Even Ground Pork makes a really fabulous Stroganoff.
I wanted flavor in every layer of this recipe, so kind of backwards, from what you usually see when making Stroganoff on the Stove.
I suppose some people call a recipe like this Hamburger Helper Beef Stroganoff. I guaranty you, this is no Hamburger Helper!
Any time you are going to Sauté, always let your pot fully heat. Heating up a Stainless Steel cooking pot before adding the fat, will help to make the pot non-stick.
The same goes for cooking in Cast Iron, as shown in my Cast Iron Brown Butter Honey Garlic Salmon recipe.
Since the age of 11, I have loved cooking Mushrooms and Onions in Butter and Sherry. The taste is unbelievable.
Since Butter burns so easily at a high temperature, a touch of Olive Oil, swirled around the cooking pot, will give the Butter taste, without worrying about burning.
Clearly, I love my Flat Whisk. Does anyone not have this Whisk yet? It’s one of my most used tools. Here is the link:>> Flat Whisk
Do yourself a huge favor and go out and buy a good bottle of Dry Sherry Wine. Sherry adds so much flavor to recipes.
Please do me the favor and don’t ever buy “cooking” Sherry. The Sherry should be for drinking, even if you are not a Sherry drinker.
The smell is intoxicating. The fumes will cook off, so be careful not to breathe in when you first pour in the Sherry.
If you don’t want to use Sherry, Shaoxing Wine is a great substitute. (I know, I know, it is a cooking wine, but it is a Chinese brand and it works.) I have used both and like them equally, in this recipe.
Mushrooms and Onions cooked in Butter, Sherry and Garlic, make an awesome addition to my Santa Maria Style Barbecue Tri-Tip recipe.
Ground Turkey is so dry. To Sauté it first, on it’s own, really doesn’t lend for the best flavor.
Now, if you are using Beef instead, please do Sauté the Beef first and remove it a bowl. Then Sauté the Onions and Mushrooms in and add back the Beef.
For the liquid, Beef Broth or Chicken Broth is fine.
Homemade Beef and/or Chicken Bone Broth is great too. You will have a different flavor each time if you use your Homemade Bone Broth.
I toss in leftover bones from my Pressure Cooker Spare Rib recipe and chicken bones from my Air Fryer Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings and get a great tasting Bone Both.
See all the yummy flavor under that Ground Turkey? The Ground Turkey will pick up all those flavors and stay nice and moist.
Make sure to use a High Heat Spatula, so that it won’t melt.
Let it cook on one side and then flip over in batches.
That’s how I get chucks of Ground Turkey, rather than little specs throughout.
Big Chunks of Ground Turkey.
Lots of flavor in the Meat and not just in the Sauce.
The Ground Turkey is pretty much fully cooked at this point. It’s nice and juicy and yummy.
For another layer of flavor, the Egg Noodles will cook in the Sauce and Fresh Water.
Too much Beef Broth or Chicken Broth would overpower the Egg Noodles, so using some Fresh Water gives them the perfect taste.
Wide Egg Noodles are tied to so many fond memories.

There are two recipes on the blog for Kugel; one in the Pressure Cooker and one for the Oven.
That was before I realized that I should just do one post with both methods. 🙁 So, buy lots of Wide Egg Noodles!
Unlike my Pressure Cooker Beef Stroganoff, you’ll need to make a slurry since no thickening agent is added during cooking.
Potato Starch is great for Slurries, as it is Gluten Free. It’s also a lighter option that Flour and works better in the Pressure Cooker.
I use it in so many of my recipe, like my Pressure Cooker Lemon Chicken Piccata and my Air Fryer Crispy Honey Garlic Chicken Wings, to name a couple
You can buy Gluten Free Wide Egg Noodles, or Gluten Free Miracle Noodles, so that your Pressure Cooker Ground Turkey Stroganoff is Gluten Free.
At this point, you will want to make a Slurry and thicken up the Sauce.
Dunk your Glass Measuring Cup into the Pot and remove about 3/4 cup of liquid. Whisk the Potato Starch into the hot liquid. Whisk until there are no lumps. Then pour it back in and incorporate with the rest of the liquid.
If your Sour Cream is Room Temperature, just slowly add it to the Pressure Cooker and incorporate.
Otherwise, add a little of the hot liquid to the Sour Cream to temper it and then add it to the cooking pot.
Go slowly and customize Pressure Cooker Ground Turkey Stroganoff to your personal tastes.
Some people like lots of Sour Cream and others, only want it a bit creamy.
You will never go back to Hamburger Helper again!
The layers of flavor, even in the Wide Egg Noodles, will make your tummy sing.

Can you use regular pasta in this recipe? If so, how would I alter the cooking time? Thanks
Pat E. says
Need a substitute for the fish sauce. 1,800 mg of sodium in 1 TBSP is crazy… I have someone on a sodium restricted diet.
Yeeha.mom says
This recipe was such a winner in my house last night! I have an 8 year old and a picky 6 year old who doesn’t care for “sauce” or anything tomato based. This was really delicious and will be made again for my family. I especially appreciate the asian ingredients like the Shaoxing wine and fish sauce. I cook with them regularly and they add a lot of umami.
Jill says
Hi Yeeha. I am glad your family enjoyed the meal. 🙂 Jill
Evanthe says
Have you used Greek Yogurt instead of sour cream in this recipe?
Evanthe says
I tried greek yogurt tonight, and it separated instead of staying creamy. Not sure if it’s because I didn’t temper it enough or if it’s just the nature of Greek Yogurt vs sour cream.
Katie says
having to do so many ingredients by weight makes this much more labor intensive.
Katie says
I think I might have done something wrong. Is it supposed to be spicy? I’m pretty sure I followed the directions exactly, but my kids cried after taking a bite- claiming it’s spicy.
Jill says
Katie, I wonder if you grabbed cayenne pepper instead of paprika. This recipe is not spicy at all. Jill
Katie says
Hungarian Paprika can be spicy. I’d stick with regular paprika.
Jutta Holden says
Not quit sure about how to release pressure after cooking for one minute. No natural release, right? Not quick release either.
Slow version of quick release? Sorry, feel so stupid! Want to make this, sounds yummy. Just ordered the sherry and your cookbook!
Thanks for your help!
Jutta
Kim says
I just tap the valve slowly towards open so the steam releases slowly instead of turning it all the way.
Jill says
Hi Jutta. Wiggle the valve and release the pressure slowly, so that it doesn’t come shooting out, all at once. Thank you so much. I hope you will like the book. Jill

I’ve had an Instant Pot since the end of November and until now, only had recipes call for NR, QR or NR for a few minutes then QR. This is the first time I’ve heard of toggling for a slow release. The Instant Pot has a new model that is either out now or just about to come out and this is one of it’s features. I wondered why anyone would use it. Now I know. lol
Came here because I’ve been dying to try this and am making it tonight.
By the way, so glad to have the link for the flat whisk, I saw it in a video a month or two ago and have looked everywhere locally for one and no one sells them. Couldn’t believe it was on Amazon. lol
Sue Marie says
I made this tonight and it did not disappoint. Great flavour. I just wish mine looked as good as yours. I did use 1/2 lb. of cremini mushrooms but probably cut them thicker as it seemed I had a lot less than what’s shown in your picture.
Thanks for sharing your recipes. By the way, your no counting / no ice bath hard boiled egg recipe is a fav of mine!
Jill says
Hi Sue. I am so glad you enjoyed this recipe. Jill
