Skinny Salisbury Steak with Mushroom Gravy - A Skinny Taste Cookbook Recipe
245 Calories || Serves 8

This was served with a Cheesy Cauliflower Mash, which was a HUGE hit with Mike and Liam! It tasted just like mashed potatoes, and I was guilt free knowing I didn't over indulge in carbs for the day! I will also include the recipe for it at the bottom. 

________________________

Mike doesn't particularly love mushrooms, so why I would make two large recipes that are heavy with mushrooms in the same week kind of grossed him out. 

Until he tried this! He was SO impressed and continued to compliment me on how amazing this meal was, so maybe he's coming around. Or maybe I'm just awesome. Probably the latter. 

Ingredients:

1 1/2 tsp EVOO

3/4c chopped onion
1lb lean ground beef
1lb lean ground turkey
1/2c fine dried bread crumbs
1 large egg
1 large egg white
2c beef stock
1/4tsp kosher salt
1/8 tsp ground pepper
2tbsp all-purpose flour
2tbsp tomato paste
1tsp red wine vinegar
2tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2tsp mustard powder
8oz sliced white mushrooms
2tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Instructions: 

Heat a large, deep, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add oil and onion, stirring, until golden, about 5 minutes. 

In a large bowl, combine half of the cooked onion, the ground beef, ground turkey, bread crubmbs, whole egg, egg white, 1/4c of the beef stock, 1/4tsp salt, and the black pepper. Form into 8 ovalpatties that are 3/4 inch thick. 

In a bowl, whisk together the flour and remaining 1 3/4 cups beef brother. Stir in 1/4 cup water, remaining cooked onion, tomato paste, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard powder. 

The original recipe calls for the patties to be cooked on a skillet, but I chose to grill them as it was faster and I could get them all done at once, vice two at a time. While those are grilling (or browning in a skillet), add the mushrooms to another skillet, and cook until slightly browned. 

When ready to serve, spoon the sauce mixture over the patty.
