Remove the skillet from the heat and lower the burner to medium-low. Remove the patties and place them on a plate or pan. Keep them warm by covering loosely with a piece of aluminum foil, and/or place the plate in the microwave or oven. They stay nice and warm in an enclosed space away from drafts. Don’t worry if the ground turkey steaks are not cooked through, they will finish cooking in the gravy.
Drain the excess oil but do not wash or wipe the skillet. Place it back over medium-low heat and add the butter. When the butter is melted and foamy add the onions and sliced mushrooms. Cook gently for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add the flour to the onions and mushrooms, stir to combine well and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Raise the heat to medium and add the chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, ½ teaspoon salt and black pepper. Stir, while gently scrapping the bottom of the skillet as you go.
When the sauce is simmering, add the patties back to the pan (it will take about 5 minutes to come to a simmer).
Bring the liquid back up to a simmer (just 1-2 minutes), lower the heat to medium low, cover and continue cooking, at a simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, and flipping the steaks at least 2 times during the cooking time.
Uncover the skillet for the last 5 minutes of cooking to thicken the gravy further, if needed. Keep the gravy at a simmer, raise or lower the heat as needed.
The ingredients for the ground turkey patties added to a large glass bowl but not mixed yet.
The internal temperature of the turkey Salisbury steaks needs to be at least 165°F at the thickest part of the largest piece. Use an instant read thermometer to make sure they are up to temperature. If it’s not, continue cooking for 5-10 minutes and check again.
Taste the gravy and add salt if needed. As a reference we added ¼ teaspoon to ours.
Notes
Don’t slice the mushrooms and onions too thin so that they hold up in the gravy.
The gravy will thicken as it cools. Loosen it with a little bit of chicken broth if it’s too thick.
