Salisbury Steak-Classic comfort food! Ground turkey (or beef) patties cooked in your skillet and drenched with a flavorful gravy.

There is just something about Salisbury steak.  Is it the thick patty?  Is it the flavorful gravy?  Is it because the best way to serve them is on a fluffy plate of mashed potatoes?   In my opinion, it's all of those things!

It's classic American comfort food.  YUM.

Ingredients Needed

• Ground turkey
• Bread crumbs
• Ketchup
• Dijon mustard
• Garlic/Onion/Salt & Pepper
• Worcestershire sauce
• Egg white
• Brown gravy mix

Recipe Notes

• Ground Turkey:  Ground beef will, of course, also work. Your cooking time may be a smidgen different, depending on which you use.  The internal temperature of ground turkey should be at least 165 degrees when done. The ground beef should be at least 160 degrees. 
• Gravy:  Your packets should be .87 in size.  You will need 2 of them.  See recipe card for product suggestion.
• Storage: Keep any leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator. They are best eaten within a week. 

What About Mushrooms?

Mushrooms are traditionally found in Salisbury steak.  However, I don't like mushrooms and omit them from the dish all together.  If you wish to have them, add them in with the gravy. The amount can be anywhere from a few to a cup.  It's up to you. 🍄

Salisbury Steak

By Erin

Prep: 20 mins Cook: 30 mins Yield: 4 patties

Ingredients

For the Patties:

• 1 lb ground turkey or ground beef
• 1/3 cup bread crumbs
• 1 TBSP ketchup
• 1 TBSP Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 TBSP minced onion
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 egg white
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Oil, for the pan

For the Gravy:

• 2 (0.87 oz) packets dry brown gravy mix
• 1 tsp ketchup
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 cups water

Instructions

1. Form the Patties: In a medium bowl, mix together all the ingredients for the patties until fully combined. Shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized oval patties.
2. Sear the Patties: Heat about a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet (at least 9-10 inches). Cook the patties for 5 minutes on one side, then flip them over and cook for an additional 5 minutes on the other side.
3. Simmer the Gravy: Remove the patties from the skillet and transfer them to a side plate. In the same skillet, whisk together all of the gravy ingredients until completely smooth. Increase the heat slightly to bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it simmer for 2 to 5 minutes, or until it starts to thicken.
4. Combine & Warm: Place the cooked patties back into the skillet and coat them generously with the gravy. Continue cooking just until the patties are completely warmed through.
5. Serve: Plate the steaks hot and serve alongside mashed potatoes, noodles, or rice.
