I am not a big fan of ground turkey but I decided to try these. They were very good. One of my daughters who tried them really liked them a lot! The cooking time worked out perfectly for me. Do be aware that these will be a bit on the dark side when they are finished cooking - I think because the Worcestershire sauce has a bit of molasses and corn syrup in it.

TURKEY AND WILD MUSHROOM
MEAT LOAF PATTIES WITH PAN GRAVY
Recipe courtesy Rachael Ray
Yield: 4 servings

Note: clean mushrooms with a damp cloth. Do not run directly under water.

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan for the mushrooms, 1 turn for the patties
8 cremini mushrooms, (baby portobellos), chopped
8 shiitake mushrooms, chopped
1 shallot, chopped
Salt and pepper
1 1/3 pounds ground turkey, the average weight of 1 package
3 or 4 sprigs fresh sage, leaves chopped, about 2 tablespoons
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, eyeball it
1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken stock
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add oil, 2 turns of the pan. Add chopped mushrooms and shallots and season with salt and pepper. Saute mushrooms 5 or 6 minutes until dark and tender. Remove from heat. Transfer mushrooms to a bowl and return pan to stove top to preheat to cook patties.

Add turkey to the mushroom mixture. Make a well in the center of the meat. Add sage, Worcestershire sauce, bread crumbs and beaten egg and season with salt and pepper. Mix turkey meat loaf and make a small 1-inch patty. Place meat in the hot pan and cook 1 minute on each side. Taste the mini patty to help you adjust seasonings.

Divide meat loaf mixture into 4 equal parts by scoring the meat before you form patties. Form 4 equal oval patties 1 inch thick.

Add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan, and arrange patties in the skillet. Cook 6 minutes on each side and transfer to a serving plate or individual dinner plates.

Return pan to heat and add butter. When butter melts, whisk in flour and cook 1 to 2 minutes.

Whisk in stock and season gravy with poultry seasoning, salt and pepper, to taste. Simmer gravy until it reaches desired thickness, and pour over patties, reserving a little to pass at the table.
