To cut calories while still giving you the beef flavor you want in a good salisbury steak, I used a blend of ground turkey and ground beef. But you can absolutely use all beef or all turkey if you prefer.
And I supplied gluten-free swaps below so my gluten intolerant readers can enjoy the recipe as well.

How to Make Healthy Salisbury Steak
I wanted to make this recipe as easy as possible, so I cooked everything in one large skillet. So no browning in one pan and sautéing in another. Instead I made this a one pan dinner to keep cooking easy and clean up quick.
And to make pouring in the gravy extra easy, I recommend using a large glass measuring cup to whisk the sauce ingredients together. But any bowl will work as well.
How to Make Healthy Salisbury Steak:
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and spray with olive oil.
- Cook the onions in the hot pan until slightly golden, about 10 minutes.
- Move 1/2 of the onions to a large glass bowl. And add in the mushrooms and cook while you make the patties.
- To the bowl of onions, add the beef, turkey, breadcrumbs, egg whites, 2 tablespoons of beef broth, salt and pepper.
- Mix until just combined, and form into 5 patties.
- Move the onions and mushrooms to the outer edges of the pan and lightly spray the pan again with olive oil.
- Add the patties to the hot skillet and cook for 5 minutes each side.
- Meanwhile in a separate bowl (I used a large glass measuring cup) combine the flour, remaining beef broth, tomato paste, mustard, vinegar, Worcestershire, and water. Whisk well.
- Pour the broth mixture over the Salisbury steaks, onions and mushrooms and mix together a little so that the onions and mushrooms are dispersed.
- Lower the heat to low, cover the skillet and cook for 20 minutes, stirring 1-2 times to avoid burning.
- Serve salisbury steaks hot, topped with mushrooms and onions. Alongside your favorite sides (I recommend steamed peas and my Low Calorie Mashed Potatoes).
