For the Salisbury Steaks:
1 lb ground turkey (85/15 or 93/7)
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp ketchup
½ tbsp Worcestershire sauce
½ tbsp steak sauce (like A-1)
1 egg
½ cup panko breadcrumbs
2–3 tbsp oil (neutral, like canola)
For the Mushroom Gravy:
2 tbsp butter
1 medium onion, sliced ¼ inch thick
8 oz white button mushrooms, sliced
2 tbsp flour
2 cups chicken broth
½ tbsp Worcestershire sauce
½ tsp salt (plus more to taste)
¼ tsp black pepper
Make the Steaks: In a bowl, mix all steak ingredients until just combined. Shape into 4 oval patties.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook patties for 4–5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Make the Gravy: In the same pan, melt butter. Add onions and mushrooms; sauté until golden and soft.
Stir in flour and cook 1–2 minutes. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce.
Season with salt and pepper, then simmer until thickened.
Return patties to the skillet and simmer for 5–10 minutes to soak up the gravy.
Serve hot with mashed potatoes or rice.
Savory, saucy, and full of flavor—this turkey Salisbury steak is the kind of meal that feels like home in every bite.
