Your Poor Man’s Steak Questions, Answered
Can I use ground turkey?
Yes! Turkey works well. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the mixture since it’s leaner.
Can I make these gluten-free?
Use gluten-free crackers and gluten-free flour for coating. Ensure your broth and soup mix are gluten-free.
My patties fell apart. What went wrong?
Either not enough binder (crackers) or they were handled too much. Next time, add an extra ¼ cup crushed crackers and mix gently.
Can I double this recipe?
Yes! Use a larger slow cooker or cook in batches. Keep the same proportions.
Can I make this in the oven?
Yes! Brown patties, place in baking dish with broth, cover, and bake at 325°F for 1½-2 hours.
