What’s better than making a classic comfort dinner lighter? Making said dinner into an easy 30-minute weeknight meal!

Ingredients:

Turkey Steaks

• 2 lbs. ground turkey
• 1 sweet onion, diced
• 4 Tbsp. parsley, diced
• 2 tsp. salt
• 2 tsp. pepper
• 2 tsp. Nature’s Seasoning
• 2 1/4 c. Italian breadcrumbs
• 1/2 c. milk
• olive oil

Gravy

• 2 envelopes (1 box) Lipton Onion Mushroom Dry Soup Mix
• 2 Tbsp. butter
• 2 tbsp. flour
• 3 c. water
• 1 tsp. thyme
• 1 tsp. rosemary
• 1 tsp. garlic salt
• salt and pepper to taste

Cauliflower Mash

Directions:

1. In a large skillet (I use an electric skillet for its high temp and large capacity) over medium high heat, add olive oil to just cover entire bottom surface. Continue to step 2 as the oil heats up.
2. In a large bowl combine the turkey, onion, seasonings, breadcrumbs, and milk. Mix with your hands thoroughly until all ingredients are incorporated. Use your 1/4 c. measuring cup to portion turkey patties. Make sure they are about 1/2″ thick and add to hot oil. Allow to crisp up and brown for about 5 minutes or so and flip. Work in batches until all turkey mixture is used up, replacing oil when the bottom surface of the pan is exposed.
3. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium low heat. Gently whisk flour in once butter has melted. Gently add the water in, only about 1/4 c. at a time, whisking vigorously each time until smooth. Add in two dry mix envelops. Allow to simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes until thickened. Season with thyme, rosemary, and garlic salt. Additional salt and pepper can be added to taste.
4. Add all the turkey patties back into the skillet and pour gravy on the top.
5. Serve over cauliflower mashed potatoes.

Yields 8 servings.

Eat, Bork, and Be Merry!
