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

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine lean ground turkey, chopped onion, whole-wheat breadcrumbs, egg, parsley, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a flat patty.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Sprinkle whole-wheat flour over the mushrooms and stir for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 7

Gradually pour in the low-sodium beef broth and low-fat milk while stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.

Step 8

Add the fresh thyme and continue cooking for 3-4 minutes until the gravy thickens.

Step 9

Return the hamburger steaks to the skillet, turning to coat them in the gravy.

Step 10

Simmer for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.

Step 11

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.
