Turkey Salisbury Steaks are a lighter, yet equally comforting take on the classic Salisbury steak. These patties are made with lean ground turkey, which is seasoned to perfection and pan-seared to create a deliciously crispy exterior. The savory mushroom and onion gravy that accompanies the steaks is rich and flavorful, adding depth and warmth to the dish. Perfect for a cozy dinner, these Turkey Salisbury Steaks pair wonderfully with mashed potatoes or a side of roasted vegetables, making them a great choice for a family meal or a casual gathering.
Ingredients:
- For the Steaks:
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- For the Gravy:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef or chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Make the Steaks:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into oval patties.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the patties to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and set them aside.
- Prepare the Gravy:
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and mushrooms, and sauté until the onions are soft and the mushrooms are golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the onion and mushroom mixture, stirring constantly for about 1 minute to cook the flour.
- Gradually whisk in the broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Bring the gravy to a simmer and cook until it thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
- Assemble the Dish:
- Return the turkey patties to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy.
- Spoon the gravy over the steaks and let them simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Serve:
- Serve the Turkey Salisbury Steaks hot, generously topped with the mushroom and onion gravy. Enjoy them with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
