Growing up as a kid, my busy parents often fed my sister and me TV dinners…Swanson TV dinners to be exact. I remember them like it was yesterday. Salisbury Steak was often the main entree, and even though I now know better about eating healthy, all I knew back then was that those Salisbury steaks tasted pretty darn good.
So, I decided to play around in the kitchen and see if I could make a healthier version that would be tasty enough to bring back my childhood memories of TV dinners, while still keeping the Weight Watchers Points low.
I used a few traditional Salisbury steak recipes as my guideline, and then made a lot of healthier changes. I was thrilled with how delicious these turned out! I served them over some good ol’ mashed potatoes and they were a hit. I served them over mashed potatoes, but if you want to keep this really light, try them over my Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes to keep the meal Points even lower.
If you were once (or still are!) a fan of Salisbury steaks, this Salisbury Steaks recipe is a must-make. Enjoy!
A throwback to the TV dinner days, these lightened up and much healthier Salisbury steak is a delicious way to reminisce. Flavorful, yet light, this dish makes a wonderful family dinner recipe that won’t break your bank.

Hi,
I’m having trouble seeing how this is only 3+ Points when the meat alone is over 3 points. Then you have wheat flour bad whole wheat bread crumbs… both having at least 2-3 points depending on quantity. I’ve taken them to the smallest amount possible on my Weight Watchers foods point chart and it’s not adding up… Actually, it’s adding up to about 9-10 points for one serving of this dish.
Can you help me out here?
Thanks

Hi, making 8 servings out of only one pound of beef seems like this recipe is more like large meatballs than Salsbury Steaks. Is the serving size correct? THANK YOU!
Audrey9 years ago
i agree, the servings seem very small, i will make into 4- 6 patties for ‘normal size’ servings

This is parked in my recipe box ~ family hit.
I changed a bit and made it crock pot. I browned the patties 3 mins both sides. Placed in crockpot. Followed the rest of the instructions and threw that in the CP. Cooked low for approx 2 hours and them set to low until we were ready to eat!
Has anyone tried with ground turkey?
