Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground turkey
• 1 large egg white
• 0.5 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium small onion, finely chopped
• 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
• 1.5 cups low-sodium beef broth
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons cold water
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, egg white, whole wheat breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, half of the chopped onion, and black pepper. Mix well using clean hands or a spatula until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into oval patties.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for about 5 minutes on each side or until they are browned and cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining chopped onion and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and the onions are translucent.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and cold water, stirring until smooth.

Step 6

Add the beef broth to the skillet with the mushrooms and onions. Stir in the cornstarch mixture and bring to a simmer. Cook while stirring for about 2-3 minutes until the gravy thickens.

Step 7

Return the patties to the skillet, drizzling them with the mushroom gravy. Simmer for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.

Step 8

Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the Salisbury steaks before serving for a burst of freshness and color.

Step 9

Serve hot, optionally over whole grain pasta or mashed sweet potatoes for a complete meal.
