Smothered Salsbury Steaks

From: Rochelle

These are SO good! I made these for our anniversary dinner! You can make them with ground beef, but I decided to use ground turkey instead it tends to be a little bit healthier and less fat. You have GOT to try these!

Ingredients:

1lb ground turkey

1/2 packet dry onion soup mix (or 2 1/2 Tbsp homemade)

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1/4c milk

1/4c fresh bread crumbs (I actually used oatmeal and ground it up to be finer)

1 egg

1 1/2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce, divided

2-3 Tbsp olive oil

2 Tbsp butter

1/2lb baby bella (or cremini) mushrooms, halved or quartered, if large (I left these out-Austin no likey)

1 onion, sliced

1 clove garlic, minced

2 Tbsp flour

1 1/2c beef broth (can use 1 1/2tsp bouillon and 1 1/2c water)

Directions:

In a medium bowl, combine ground turkey, soup mix, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Add milk, bread crumbs (or oats), egg and 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce and mix with your hands until combined (try not to over-mix, as this can make the patties tough). Divide into 6 equal portions and shape into patties.

In a large saute pan, heat 2 Tbsp olive oil and 1 Tbsp butter over medium-high heat. Working in batches, brown the patties on both sides and place in a 9×13″ baking dish. Set aside and reduce heat to medium. Add mushrooms (if you are going to add them) to the pan and cook 4-5 minutes or until browned and tender. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle over the patties.

Return pan to medium heat and add onions. Add a little more olive oil if necessary to keep the onions from sticking. Cook onions until golden and tender, about 5-6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle over the patties.

Add remaining butter, olive oil, and the flour to the pan. Stir over medium heat 1-2 minutes. Pour in beef broth and remaining 1/2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce and stir to dissolve flour mixture. Cook 3-4 minutes over medium heat or until thickened to desired consistency. Pour gravy over patties, mushrooms, and onions.

Cover baking dish with foil and bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes. Serve warm with your favorite side dishes.

Serves 4-6.

* A note on the onion soup mix: If you want to make your own, you can combine 3/4c dried minced onion, 1/3c beef bouillon (msg-free), 4 tsp onion powder, and 1/4tsp sugar. 5 Tbsp of this mix is equal to 1 packet of soup mix.
