Superfast Salisbury Steak

Satisfying but not too rich or heavy.

This has become a staple in our menu rotation--it's quick to make, tasty, and the uncooked patties freeze well and make for a second easy--quick dinner later on.

Yield 6 servings (serving size: 1 patty and 2 tablespoons sauce)
Ingredients
3/4 pound ground turkey breast
3/4 pound ground round
1/3 cup dry breadcrumbs
2 large egg whites
Cooking spray
3/4 cup water
3 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons Madeira wine or dry sherry
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 (10 1/2-ounce) can condensed French onion soup (such as Campbell's) **SUBSTITUTION--I use a package of Dried French Onion Soup mix and add extra water--because I'm more likely to have that in my cupboards.
Preparation
Combine first 4 ingredients. Divide meat mixture into 6 equal portions, shaping each into a 1/2-inch-thick patty. Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add patties; cook 6 minutes or until browned, turning after 3 minutes. Remove patties from pan; keep warm. Stir in water and remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil; add patties. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes. Uncover and cook until wine mixture is reduced to 3/4 cup (about 10 minutes).
