Equipment
- 1 large nonstick skillet
Ingredients
- 1 pound extra lean ground turkey ground beef (try for 93% – 97% lean)
- 3 tablespoons seasoned dry bread crumbs
- 1 egg white
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium red onion, chopped
- 8 ounces fresh sliced mushrooms (buying the presliced packages from the produce section is a huge time saver!)
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 cup fat-free reduced-sodium beef broth
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme or parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the ground meat, bread crumbs, egg white, salt and pepper and mix together well. Shape the mixture into 4 patties (about 1/2 thick each).
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and coat well with cooking spray; add the patties to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes per side (or until no longer pink in the center). Remove the patties from the skillet and set them aside.
- Re-coat the same skillet with a little more cooking spray and add the chopped onion. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, then add the mushrooms and the dried thyme and cook for 3 more minutes (still stirring occasionally).
- Sprinkle the flour over the onion/mushroom mixture and and stir for 30 seconds; add the broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
- After the skillet comes to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes (or until the onions and mushrooms are tender and the sauce has thickened a little).
- With the heat still at a simmer, return the patties to skillet for about 1 -3 minutes to heat through. Serve with sprinkled with fresh thyme or parsley, if desired.

Notes
Ingredient Substitutions: If you prefer a different protein, you can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef. For a vegetarian version, try using a mixture of cooked lentils and mushrooms as the base for the patties.
