Ingredients
For the Turkey Steaks:
- 1 1/2 lbs ground turkey
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
For the Mushroom Gravy:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken or turkey broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup milk or cream
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Turkey Steaks
- In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, milk, onion, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.
- Divide the mixture into 4-6 equal portions and shape them into oval patties.
Step 2: Cook the Turkey Steaks
3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
4. Cook the turkey patties for 4-5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C). Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3: Make the Mushroom Gravy
5. In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil or butter. Sauté the mushrooms over medium heat for 5-6 minutes until softened and lightly browned.
6. Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
7. Gradually whisk in the chicken or turkey broth, ensuring no lumps form. Add Worcestershire sauce and let the gravy simmer for 3-4 minutes until thickened.
8. Stir in the milk or cream, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 4: Combine and Serve
9. Return the turkey steaks to the skillet, spooning the mushroom gravy over them. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to heat through.
10. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve hot.

- Don’t Overmix: Mix the turkey mixture just until combined to keep the patties tender.
- Mushroom Substitute: If you’re not a fan of mushrooms, try diced onions or omit them entirely.
