Keto-Friendly Coconut Milk, Mushroom, and Turkey Stroganoff Recipe

A Simple Coconut Milk and Turkey Stroganoff Recipe Served with mashed Cauliflower

Stroganoff is a classic comfort dish known for its rich and creamy sauce, traditionally made with beef and sour cream. However, the Keto Diet does not include dairy products.

In this keto-friendly stroganoff version, we'll explore a delightful twist by incorporating coconut milk and turkey into the recipe. Not only does this create a flavorful alternative, but it also makes the dish low in carbs, perfect for those following a ketogenic lifestyle.

Ingredients:

*1 lb (450g) chopped turkey or beef depending on preference
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup (240ml) beef broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 cup (120ml) coconut milk or coconut cream
Salt and pepper to taste
*Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

*You can use dehydrated parsley flakes as well!

*Ground turkey and ground beef can be substituted in this recipe.

Instructions:

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add chopped turkey to the skillet and cook until browned. Remove excess fat if necessary.

Add chopped onions to the skillet and cook until softened. Add minced garlic cooking until the mushrooms are golden brown.

Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Stir well and bring to a simmer.

Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes until the flavors meld.

Stir in coconut milk and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring the sauce is heated through.

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Serving Suggestions:

For a complete keto meal, serve the Coconut Milk and Turkey Stroganoff with mashed cauliflower instead of noodles or rice. Noodles and rice are too carby for the Keto Diet.  However, mashed cauliflower is an excellent low-carb alternative to traditional rice or noodles, adding a light and fluffy texture to complement the rich Stroganoff.

Side Salad:

Enhance the meal with a side salad featuring your favorite keto-friendly greens. A simple mix of spinach, arugula, cherry tomatoes, and a light vinaigrette can add freshness and crunch to balance the creamy Stroganoff.

Baked Asparagus:

Another featured side to stroganoff is baked asparagus. Place asparagus in a baking pan. Season with garlic granules, salt, and pepper and top with butter or olive oil and bake at 350 degrees while you prepare the stroganoff.

Broccoli:

Serve steamed broccoli with your beef stroganoff for a hearty Keto meal. 

Keto Bread:

Without exceeding your Keto goals, stroganoff is excellent served with a slice of Keto Bread. Brush the top of the slice of keto bread with olive oil and put it in the oven till the top of the Keto bread is crisp like toast and serve.

Sauteed Mushrooms:

Sauteed mushrooms are a terrific side to Stroganoff! Mushrooms add more flavor to stroganoff and you get more nutrients from mushrooms. 

Roasted Brussel Sprouts

Toss brussel sprouts in olive oil and sprinkle salt and pepper on them. Place them on a shallow pan and bake till the brussel sprouts are lightly brown.
