Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g lean ground turkey
- 50 g oats
- 15 ml low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 large onions
- 240 ml low-sodium beef broth
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the lean ground turkey, oats, low-sodium soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the mixture.
Divide the mixture into four equal parts and form them into oval-shaped patties about 1-inch thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the turkey patties and cook for about 5 minutes per side, or until they are nicely browned and cooked through. Remove the patties from the pan and set them aside.
Thinly slice the onions. In the same pan, add the sliced onions and cook over medium heat until they are soft and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour the low-sodium beef broth into the pan with the onions and bring it to a simmer, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan for extra flavor.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water to create a slurry. Stir this mixture into the simmering broth and onions, continuing to stir until the gravy thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Return the turkey patties to the pan, nestling them in the onion gravy. Allow them to heat through for another 2 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables or a simple salad.
