Turkey And Wild Mushroom Meatloaf Patties With Pan Gravy - cooking recipe

Ingredients

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

Preparation

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 meatloaf 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 meatloaf 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.
