Sprinkle cheese over the top. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

1/2 tsp pepper
3 1/2 cup water
1 pkg of beef stroganoff sauce mix

Crumble ground turkey and sprinkle with pepper. Cook 5-6 minutes or until turkey is no longer pink. Stir in water, sauce mix, and noodles and heat until boiling. Stir and reduce heat. Cover and cook 6-8 minutes until noodles are tender.

Stir in the sour cream. Cook and stir until thoroughly heated (don’t let the mixture boil or the sauce will have a curdled appearance).

1 lb ground beef
1/2 lb italian sausage
