Ingredients
Turkey Patties
- 1.75 lb ground turkey (lean)
- 1 egg
- 2/3 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup onion, diced into 1/4-inch pieces
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tsp garlic salt
- 1.5 tsp ground mustard
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for frying patties)
Mushroom Gravy
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for sautéing mushrooms)
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced into 1/4-inch thick pieces
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
Instructions
- Prepare the turkey patties: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, egg, breadcrumbs, diced onion, ketchup, garlic salt, ground mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly blended but do not overwork the meat. Shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.
- Cook the patties: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the turkey patties and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the patties are browned and cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside, keeping warm.
- Sauté mushrooms: In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and sliced mushrooms. Cook over medium heat until the mushrooms are browned and their moisture evaporates, about 5 minutes.
- Make the gravy base: Add 1 tablespoon butter to the mushrooms and let it melt. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon flour over the butter and mushrooms, stirring constantly to create a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the mixture turns golden and flour is cooked.
- Add liquids and seasonings: Gradually whisk in 2 cups of beef broth, ensuring no lumps form. Add Worcestershire sauce and onion powder. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine patties and gravy: Return the cooked turkey patties to the skillet, spoon some gravy over them, and let them warm together for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute beef broth with turkey or chicken broth for a lighter flavor.
- Using fresh breadcrumbs improves the texture of the patties but store-bought works fine.
- Ensure patties reach an internal temperature of 165°F for food safety.
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free breadcrumbs and flour alternatives.
- Ground mustard adds a tangy note to cut through richness, but can be omitted if unavailable.
