Tips for success

If you find the sauce is too thin at the end of the cooking time, you can remove the turkey and potatoes, then set the slow cooker to high for a few minutes to reduce the liquid slightly. Alternatively, a small amount of cornstarch slurry can be stirred into the sauce to thicken it to your desired consistency before serving.

Consider serving the turkey burger steaks with a side of steamed green beans or a crisp green salad to add a fresh contrast to the rich, savory flavors of the butter and Worcestershire sauce.

The potatoes already provide a hearty carbohydrate, so these lighter sides help balance the meal without requiring extra time in the kitchen.

Variations

  • Herb Infused: Add a teaspoon of dried rosemary or thyme to the seasoning blend before cooking. The woody herbs complement the turkey and butter sauce beautifully, providing an earthy aroma and deeper flavor profile that enhances the overall dish.
  • Spicy Kick: Incorporate a half teaspoon of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce into the butter and Worcestershire mixture. This adds a subtle warmth that cuts through the richness of the butter, perfect for those who enjoy a bit of heat.

Storage and make-ahead

Fridge
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freezer
Store in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months; thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
Reheat
Reheat in the microwave or a saucepan over medium heat until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Allow any leftovers to cool completely at room temperature for no more than 2 hours before transferring them to an airtight container.

Properly stored, the turkey and potatoes will remain safe to eat in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, ensure the turkey is warmed through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to maintain food safety standards.

This dish is excellent for meal prep as the flavors often meld better after sitting in the refrigerator overnight.

You can assemble the ingredients in the slow cooker insert the night before and keep it in the refrigerator, then simply place it into the base and start the cooking cycle in the morning or whenever you are ready to prepare dinner.

Serving ideas

Serve the turkey burger steaks hot, directly from the slow cooker, ensuring each portion gets a generous serving of the buttery potatoes and the accumulated sauce from the bottom of the insert.

The sauce is essentially a gravy that pairs perfectly with the turkey and potatoes, so be sure to spoon it over the top before serving.

If desired, garnish the plates with a small amount of fresh chopped parsley or chives for a pop of color and a touch of brightness. This simple addition elevates the presentation of the dish, making it feel complete and ready for the table. Plate the patties alongside the potatoes for a balanced and comforting presentation.

Frequently asked questions

Can this be made with frozen turkey patties?
Yes, frozen turkey patties can be used, but it is necessary to increase the cooking time by at least 60 minutes. Always use a meat thermometer to ensure the center of the patty reaches 165°F (74°C) before serving.
Why is it important to let the meat rest?
Allowing the turkey to rest for 5 minutes after cooking is essential as it lets the internal juices redistribute throughout the meat. This simple step ensures that each bite remains moist and tender rather than dry.
Is it possible to use a different type of potato?
While baby potatoes are ideal for their texture and size, you can use Yukon Gold or red potatoes cut into uniform 1-inch chunks. Ensure they are all roughly the same size so they cook evenly alongside the turkey.
