Turkey Salisbury Steak with Cranberry-Orange Gravy

I made this one night on a whim, not knowing what to do with the ground turkey I had taken out of the freezer. It came out amazing! I served it over baked stuffing and with green bean casserole. My two picky eaters (8 and 5) loved this recipe.

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground turkey
• 0.6666666666666666 cup bread crumbs, or to taste
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 ½ teaspoons onion powder, or to taste
• 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder, or to taste
• 1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper, or to taste
• 1 (12 ounce) package fresh cranberries
• 1 cup orange juice
• 3 tablespoons granular no-calorie sucralose sweetener (such as Splenda®)
• 0.25 cup water
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Steps

1. Mix ground turkey, bread crumbs, egg, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper together in a large bowl; set aside for 5 minutes.
2. Stir cranberries, orange juice, and sweetener together in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Stir water and cornstarch together in a bowl; stream into the boiling cranberry mixture while stirring. Bring liquid again to a boil and cook until thickened to your desired consistency, 5 to 10 minutes.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Shape the turkey mixture into 6 patties. Fry the patties in the skillet until completely browned on the bottom, about 7 minutes. Flip the patties and continue cooking until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 3 to 4 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
4. Pour the cranberry-orange gravy over the patties; bring to a simmer and continue cooking until the sauce thickens further, 3 to 4 minutes more.
