Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, combine the cooked turkey, turkey gravy, and cream of mushroom soup.
- Heat the mixture until hot, stirring occasionally.
- Add milk, chopped onions, frozen mixed vegetables, salt, pepper, and celery seed.
- Cook until vegetables are tender and flavors are well combined, about 10 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a sprinkle of garlic powder to the mixture. If you don’t have cream of mushroom soup, you can substitute with cream of chicken soup or make a homemade version using sautéed mushrooms and heavy cream. Fresh vegetables can replace frozen ones for a fresher taste, but ensure to adjust cooking time accordingly.

Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm the stroganoff in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. You can also add a splash of milk if the sauce thickens too much during storage.
