Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 head cauliflower, chopped into small florets
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • ¼ cup chicken broth (optional, for extra moisture)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
  • 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 tender and lightly browned. Remove cauliflower from the skillet and set 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.
  • Add Seasoning: Stir in minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes.
  • Combine & Simmer: Add the sautéed cauliflower back to the skillet. If the mixture seems dry, stir in the chicken broth and simmer for 3–4 minutes until everything is well coated and heated through.
  • Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and Parmesan if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving.
  • If you prefer a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the turkey mixture.
  • This recipe is low-carb and makes a great meal prep option.
