Steps:
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add oil, 2 turns of the pan. Add chopped mushrooms and shallots and season with salt and pepper. Saute mushrooms 5 or 6 minutes until dark and tender. Remove from heat. Transfer mushrooms to a bowl and return pan to stove top to preheat to cook patties.
- Add turkey to the mushroom mixture. Make a well in the center of the meat. Add sage, Worcestershire sauce, bread crumbs and beaten egg and season with salt and pepper. Mix turkey meat loaf and make a small 1-inch patty. Place meat in the hot pan and cook 1 minute on each side. Taste the mini patty to help you adjust seasonings. Divide meat loaf mixture into 4 equal parts by scoring the meat before you form patties. Form 4 equal oval patties 1 inch thick. Add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan, and arrange patties in the skillet. Cook 6 minutes on each side and transfer to a serving plate or individual dinner plates. Return pan to heat and add butter. When butter melts, whisk in flour and cook 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in stock and season gravy with poultry seasoning, salt and pepper, to taste. Simmer gravy until it reaches desired thickness, and pour over patties, reserving a little to pass at the table.

BROWN SUGAR-CURED TURKEY WITH WILD MUSHROOM-SHALLOT GRAVY
I love to try new turkey recipes during the year to experiment before the holidays. I'm finally getting around to posting some that I've tried before. This one is quite good, but a little more work than most. However, parts of it can be prepared a day ahead. Plan ahead for this one - the turkey needs sit in the refer for 24 hours with the herb mixture before cooking.

Tips:
- Use fresh, flavorful mushrooms. Wild mushrooms, such as porcini, chanterelle, and morel, add a rich, earthy flavor to the gravy. If you can't find wild mushrooms, you can use a combination of cremini and shiitake mushrooms.
- Roast the mushrooms before adding them to the gravy. Roasting intensifies the mushrooms' flavor and helps to bring out their natural sweetness.
- Use a good quality turkey stock. The stock is the base of the gravy, so it's important to use one that has a rich, flavorful taste. You can make your own turkey stock or use a store-bought brand.
- Add a little bit of white wine or sherry to the gravy. The alcohol helps to deglaze the pan and adds a touch of acidity to the gravy.
- Season the gravy to taste with salt and pepper. You may also want to add a little bit of dried thyme or sage for extra flavor.
- Serve the gravy immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat the gravy over low heat before serving.
Conclusion:
With its rich, flavorful taste and versatile nature, wild mushroom turkey gravy is a delicious addition to any Thanksgiving feast. Whether you're using fresh or dried mushrooms, homemade or store-bought stock, there are many ways to make this classic dish your own.
