Hamburger steak... hmm hmmm. One of my favorite foods from when I lived at home. Its a very simple meal just ground meat into a burger patty and cooked and can be served with an endless imagination of sides. The classic is of course mashed potatoes, but I wanted to make a healthier version to this favorite of mine. What I did to cut a lot of the calories and fat was subsitute ground turkey for the meat and I made cauliflower smash with a gravy made from chicken broth reduction with onions, mushrooms. Its very tasty I must say I can live with cutting out and subsituting food for other alternatives, some people cant though. They just wont have their food subsituted.. They want it the old fashioned way.
