INGREDIENTS
2 cups cauliflower florets (approx. 200g)
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (approx. 56g)
1/3 cup nonfat Greek yogurt (approx. 85g)
3 ounces turkey sausage, cooked (approx. 85g)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Steam the cauliflower florets until tender, about 6-8 minutes, then lightly mash or pulse in a food processor until you achieve a rice-like consistency.
While the cauliflower cooks, slice the turkey sausage into rounds and lightly sauté in a non-stick pan until browned.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, nonfat Greek yogurt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Stir continuously until the mixture becomes a smooth, creamy sauce.
Mix the mashed cauliflower with the sautéed turkey sausage, and then pour the cheese sauce over the mixture. Stir until well combined.
Transfer the mixture into a baking dish and bake for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the top to set slightly.
Remove from the oven and serve warm, enjoying a protein-packed twist on a classic cheesy comfort dish.
