Creole Salisbury Steak with Mushroom Gravy

Comfort Food!

I am so excited! I just reached a milestone on Pinterest. I have over 100,000 Pinterest followers and counting! I truly wanted to thank everyone for not only making my blog a success but also for following me on Pinterest.

Today’s dinner is perfect for a celebration! I made my Creole Salisbury Steak with Mushroom Gravy. Which is Big Goo’s favorite dinner to eat!

This dish is really comfort food at it’s best! I start off my sauteing my veggies in a little olive oil. Allow the veggies to cool slightly, then mix them in with the ground turkey, some spices and a beaten egg.

I do have one big secret, and you’re the first to know it. Even Big Goo doesn’t know my food trick. I take Kings Hawaiian dinner rolls, soak them in a little broth, and add it to my ground turkey. The Hawaiian bread adds a nice, slightly sweet flavor to the Salisbury Steak and goes perfect with the mushrooms.

After we mix all the goodies with the ground turkey, we form them into oblong shaped “steaks” and dust them lightly in flour.

Next, fry the Salisbury Steak in a little olive oil for about 5 minutes per side. Place on a plate and set aside while we create the gravy.

All the meat goodies from the Salisbury Steak is on the bottom of this pan. Add a little more olive oil if needed, saute the reserved veggies and mushrooms and then pour in the beef broth. Bring mixture to a boil and add the steaks back to the pan.

Allow the steaks to simmer in the gravy for about 15 more minutes.

It’s time to eat people! I decided after I ate half of my Salisbury Steak, that I probably should have created a side dish…lol…Big Goo will be making his own sides tonight because I am full.

Made these last night! YUMMY! I followed directions to a T, but my gravy was a bit thin 🙁 Made more roux and added – perfection! Definitely adding to my rotation! Mixing the sauteed veggies into the meat made them so moist. LOVE!

  I so glad you enjoyed them…I am like you, I like my gravy a little thicker, my hubby on the other hand wants his gravy thin…I am finding that sauteing the veggies is the key when I make things with ground turkey. Even when I do my turkey burgers I love to saute the veggies first, now that I have a second opinion I will keep doing it that way…lol

I made this last night and it was absolutely wonderful!!! I do have to admit that due to my inability to look at packaging closely I accidentally got ground chicken rather than turkey and yet they still came out wonderful (other than the thin gravy). The sweetness of the bread paired with the spice from the cayenne and black pepper was a great blend. I liked this recipe so much that I wouldn’t mind making it again tonight! I will be following your blog from here on out. GREAT RECIPE!

  Thanks Sara, I know what happened to the gravy. My daughter made a second batch and I forgot to increase the cornstarch…I just asked my daughter, did we adjust the recipe since you wanted more gravy. She just looked at the recipe and said you need 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, not one…That’s why the gravy came out a little loose…sorry about that…I was about to recook the recipe to find the issue…I am the gravy queen…and to thin gravy can’t happen!

My family will not eat turkey. Do you recommend this recipe for ground beef also?

This is absolutely, positively delicious. I bought ground turkey in a 1-1/3 lb package, so I used it all. I made 6 very healthy-sized patties. I was a little leery of the amount of seasoning, but I trusted you. Glad I did! We’re having this for dinner again tomorrow night. I’m going to post this on my Facebook page too. OUTSTANDING!!

This sounds delicious. I remember Salisbury Steak growing up, but I’m not sure it ever looked this good!
