Ingredients

  • 1 head Cauliflower (chopped into florets)
  • 2 tbsps Extra Virgin Olive Oil (divided)
  • 1 Yellow Onion (diced)
  • 2 Garlic (cloves, minced)
  • 1 lb Extra Lean Ground Turkey
  • 3 cups Mushrooms (sliced)
  • 2 Carrot (diced)
  • 2 stalks Celery (diced)
  • 1 tbsp Italian Seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp Sea Salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF (177ºC).
  • Place cauliflower florets in a medium sized saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil. Let the florets boil until they are soft, about 15 minutes.
  • While the cauliflower is boiling, heat half of the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, cook for 5 minutes or until onions are translucent.
  • Add the meat, and cook until browned.
  • Add the mushrooms, carrots, celery, Italian seasoning, and salt. Continue to cook for a few minutes, until the meat is cooked through. Remove from heat.
  • Drain the cauliflower and discard cooking water. Return the cauliflower to the pot and add the other half of the olive oil and a sprinkle of salt. Mash well until the cauliflower becomes almost like a puree.
  • Transfer the meat mixture to a casserole or pie dish and distribute into an even layer. Top with the cauliflower mash and spread it evenly across the top.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Turn the oven to a low broil and broil for 10 minutes or until golden. Remove from oven and serve. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Vegan and Vegetarian

    Use cooked lentils instead of ground meat.
