Turkey Salisbury Steaks
This Turkey Salisbury Steak recipe is a game-changer. It delivers all the rich, hearty flavor of a classic comfort dish with lean ground turkey. Ground turkey is budget-friendly, which means your food dollars will go further. And I don’t know about you but we NEED that in our lives right now.
Ground turkey makes this recipe a lighter option while still being packed with flavor. The combination of mushrooms, onions, and Worcestershire sauce gives it the depth and richness you want in a homestyle meal. Served with mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles, this dish is a satisfying dinner that feels like a hug on a plate.
Why Use Turkey?
Why use turkey? It’s budget-friendly, lower in fat, and can be just as delicious as ground beef when seasoned well. If you want to switch things up while keeping dinner hearty and filling, Turkey Salisbury steak is a great choice.
Can I use ground chicken? Yes, you can also use ground chicken for this recipe. Or you can use a combination of the two ground meats.
Serve Salisbury Steaks with mashed potatoes, buttered noodles, or simple rice to soak up all the gravy. If you don’t have any of those a slice of bread is a great way to enjoy the gravy.

Change It Up!
Want to change it up? Swap out the panko breadcrumbs for crushed crackers or oats for a different texture. You could also use regular bread crumbs instead of the panko.
Add a splash of balsamic vinegar to the gravy for a burst of umami. If you want a little kick, throw some red pepper flakes or smoked paprika.
If you don’t like making homemade gravy or don’t have time, use premade beef gravy for the gravy in this recipe. Although this is such an easy little gravy recipe, it comes together quickly and easily.
Got Leftovers?
Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to three days in an airtight container. To keep them moist, reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave with a splash of broth. There isn’t much better than a Salisbury Steak Sandwich—try one on some good old white bread!
You can also freeze cooked patties and gravy separately for a quick and easy meal later on. Just defrost and reheat as desired.
