Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams lean ground turkey
- 40 grams oats
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium, chopped onion
- 250 grams, sliced mushrooms
- 250 milliliters low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the lean ground turkey, oats, egg whites, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix until fully incorporated.
Form the mixture into 4 evenly sized patties, each about 1-inch thick.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the turkey patties and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F). Remove from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion. Sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until mushrooms are golden and soft.
Pour in the low-sodium vegetable broth and bring to a simmer.
In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in 2 tablespoons of water. Add the cornstarch mixture to the skillet and stir well, allowing the gravy to thicken, about 2 minutes.
Stir in the fresh thyme and soy sauce, allowing the flavors to meld for an additional minute.
Return the turkey patties to the skillet, coating them with the mushroom gravy.
Serve the burger steaks with mushroom gravy hot as a main dish. Accompany with steamed vegetables or a salad for a heart-healthy meal.
