How to Make Veal Or Turkey Burgers W Onion Gravy Low Fat

  1. Season 1 lb ground veal or turkey with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  2. Divide the meat into 4 equal portions (approximately 4 oz / 125g each).
  3. Shape each portion into a patty.
  4. Place patties on a plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate.
  5. In a large skillet, combine 2 cups water, 2 beef bouillon cubes, 1 medium onion (chopped), and 8 oz cremini mushrooms (sliced) over medium-high heat.
  6. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
  7. Cook until onions are softened and translucent, about 8-10 minutes. Add more water if needed to maintain about 2 cups of liquid.
  8. Gently add the patties to the skillet. Poach for 5-7 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula to flatten.
  9. Cook until the juices run clear and the burgers are cooked through.
  10. Remove the cooked burgers to a plate and keep warm.
  11. Bring the sauce back to a simmer.
  12. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp cold water and 2 tbsp cornstarch until smooth.
  13. Slowly whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce, stirring constantly until thickened.
  14. Serve the burgers over cooked rice or egg noodles, generously topped with the onion gravy.
