  • 1 large Portobello mushroom, stemmed and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon low sodium Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 packet mushroom gravy mix
  • 4 ounces non-fat sour cream

4. In a measuring cup, combine gravy mix with amount of water called for on packaged directions, then stir into tempeh mixture and heat until thick. Stir in sour cream and heat just until warm.

5. Serve stroganoff over rice, garnish with parsley.
