Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams lean ground turkey
- 1 medium, finely chopped onion
- 60 grams whole-wheat breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 15 grams, chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 240 milliliters low-sodium beef broth
- 2 tablespoons whole-wheat flour
- 100 grams, sliced mushrooms
- 120 milliliters low-fat milk
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine lean ground turkey, chopped onion, whole-wheat breadcrumbs, egg, parsley, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a flat patty.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the patties to a plate and cover to keep warm.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5 minutes until soft and browned.
Sprinkle whole-wheat flour over the mushrooms and stir for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the low-sodium beef broth and low-fat milk while stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
Add the fresh thyme and continue cooking for 3-4 minutes until the gravy thickens.
Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet, turning to coat them in the gravy.
Simmer for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.
Serve the hamburger steaks drizzled with the gravy, alongside a side of steamed vegetables or a whole-grain side dish for a complete heart-healthy meal.
