Gluten-Free Smokey Salisbury Steak

Smokey Salisbury Steak has a smokey hickory flavor that will knock your socks off. So delicious it will have you licking your plate clean. Believe it or not, the hickory flavor comes from liquid smoke. In fact, this is my amped-up revisional twist on a classic nostalgic vintage recipe from my childhood. Needless to say, vintage recipes are like liquid gold and feed the world with recipes from days gone by. Moreover, these classic recipes can be reinvented to create new flavors. In conclusion, this recipe is also gluten-free and low-carb.

I was asked where my recipes come from. In any case, I pray a lot for inspiration. Some days I am not sure what to make. So I guess you could say sometimes a recipe just comes to me from out of the blue or from a more heavenly source. Not to mention, sometimes a recipe or idea comes to fruition weeks after thinking about it. While at other times,  I make it several times and feel it still needs more tweaking. I tweak and tweak until I feel it’s finally right. Needless to say, I can get really frustrated with a recipe that it may be a while before I try improving it again.

Smokey Salisbury Steak

The Vintage Classic recipe calls for hamburger meat I decided to use ground turkey to create a little healthier version recipe. Originally, Salisbury Steak is formed into ovals. You can, however, form your Salisbury Steaks anyway you want. In any case, it was a lot easier for me to simply form them into patties.

In all honesty, this was one of the very first recipes that I came up with when I went grain-free, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free for health reasons. My desire is to make something similar to Swedish meatballs with a bold bbq flavor. I add smoked paprika and hickory liquid smoke. It makes it taste like the meat has sat in a smoker for hours. This is one of my favorite meals to make. Make with mashed potatoes, cauliflower rice, or cauliflower pilaf.

In fact, since, this recipe is gluten-free you will need to use my AKA Worcestershire Sauce and Garlicky Onion Seasoning. Incidentally, by the way, Coconut Aminos, Smoked Paprika, and Hickory Liquid Smoke are both found on Amazon.

This recipe contains the Smokey Salisbury Steak recipe as well as a Smokey Mushroom Onion Gravy recipe. Nutritional Facts for the Smokey Salisbury Steak and Mushroom Gravy are listed in the recipe card. Please note there are more servings of gravy.
