INGREDIENTS
5 oz Lean Ground Turkey
1 cup Cauliflower
1 medium Carrot
1/3 cup Frozen Peas
1 small Onion
1/2 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth
2/3 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Fresh Thyme
1/2 tsp Black Pepper
A pinch of Salt
PREPARATION
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Sauté the chopped onion and diced carrot until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet, cooking until it browns and is no longer pink, breaking it up as it cooks.
Stir in the frozen peas and pour in the low-sodium chicken broth. Sprinkle in the fresh thyme, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Allow the mixture to simmer for 3-4 minutes until flavors meld.
Meanwhile, steam or boil the cauliflower florets until tender, about 8-10 minutes.
Drain the cauliflower and mash it using a fork or potato masher until smooth with a few small lumps for texture. Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt if desired.
Transfer the turkey and vegetable mixture into an oven-safe serving dish, then gently spread the mashed cauliflower evenly on top.
(Optional) For a lightly browned finish, place the dish under a broiler for 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Serve warm and enjoy this nourishing twist on a classic shepherd's pie.
