Salisbury Steak ( Turkey )

Randimirrae's Note:

A great change of pace for a classic. This is a healthier and lower calorie version ... made with ground turkey!

• Total Time: 1 hrs 5 mins
• Prep Time: 35 mins
• Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 1 medium sweet onion, minced
• 1 lb earthy mushroom, slice caps and mince stems
• 1 lb ground turkey
• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat breadcrumbs
• 2 egg whites
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 11 ounces low-sodium low-fat beef broth
• 1/2 cup red wine
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 2 tablespoons ground sage
• 2 tablespoons kosher salt
• 1 1/2 tablespoons black pepper
• 2 fresh sage leaves, bruised and rubbed between your hands
• 1 teaspoon olive oil

Directions:

1. In a nonstick cooking pan that has been sprayed with veggie spray, sweat minced onion, mushroom stems, and 1 dash of salt until translucent. Set aside to cool.
2. In a large bowl, mix ground turkey, cooled veggies, bread crumbs, 2 egg whites, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 2 tablespoons ground sage, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, and freshly cracked black pepper until thoroughly mixed (as you would a meatloaf). Divide the meat into 6 patties. Preheat a seasoned cast iron skillet (this gives the best results, a rich beefy flavor), brush on 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Brown meat on both sides. Finish in the oven at 400 degrees for 20 to 30 minutes until no longer pink in the center.
3. In the meantime, sauté a pound of sliced mushrooms in nonstick skillet with cooking spray, until tender.
4. Once the meat is done, take it out of the pan and scrape the bits of caramelized meat out of the bottom of the pan with a spoon. Add the sage leaves, wine and the beef broth, and bring to a boil. Let the sauce reduce by half. Remove from the heat, take out the sage leaves, and pour sauce over steak. Serve along with sautéed mushrooms, brown rice, and a fresh green salad.

I don't know if it's a typo or if I'm missing something, but it says 2 TBS salt in the ingredients list and 2 tsp. in the recipe. So I did 1 tbsp. WAY too salty. The gravy was runny and a bit too sour for my liking but coupled with the patty it worked well. I used the old flour and butter trick to thicken the gravy. My kids cleaned their plates, which is unusual, so I give it 2 thumbs up for that alone! :)

What a great way to make comfort food low-fat. My only complaint was that I had to add a little flour to the sauce mix for it to thicken, but I think that was my fault because I was in a hurry. Will make again the proper way when I have more time. Reviewed for PAC Spring 2008
