Ingredients

Scale
  1. 1 lb ground turkey
  2. 1 head cauliflower, chopped into small florets
  3. 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  4. 4 cloves garlic, minced
  5. 1 tsp onion powder
  6. 1 tsp smoked paprika
  7. Salt and pepper, to taste
  8. ¼ cup chicken broth (optional, for extra moisture)
  9. Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
  10. Grated Parmesan (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions

  • Cook the Cauliflower:
    Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add cauliflower florets and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender and lightly browned. Remove the cauliflower from the skillet and set it aside.

  • Brown the Turkey:
    In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add ground turkey, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Stir in minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes to combine the flavors.

  • Combine & Simmer:
    Add the sautéed cauliflower back to the skillet. If the mixture seems dry, stir in the chicken broth. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until everything is well coated and heated through.

  • Serve:
    Garnish with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • For extra flavor, use homemade chicken broth or add a splash of lemon juice before serving.
  • If you prefer a more savory dish, add extra garlic or smoked paprika for more depth.
  • The chicken broth is optional but will add a nice layer of moisture and flavor, especially if the turkey mixture seems a little dry.
