Serves: 6
Ingredients
5 cups cauliflower, cut into florets
1 onion, finely chopped
15 button (white) mushroom, thinly sliced
1 tbsp olive oil
1 lb. ground turkey breast (be sure to get breast meat, as this is very lean, regular ground turkey is not)

4 tsp tomato paste
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
⅔ cup low-sodium vegetable broth
½ cup skim milk
4 tsp butter, unsalted
Ground pepper to taste
Salt to taste
Instructions
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Combine onions, cauliflower, and mushrooms and steam them until they are very tender. Drain and set aside.
Heat the oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey breast and brown the meat. *Don’t break up the turkey breast as you cook it for the first 4-5 minutes. This will help to retain it’s juices. Lower the heat if it starts to overly brown before you break it up.
When the meat is golden-colored, add the chopped onion then cook 2 minutes while stirring. Mix in the tomatoes, mushrooms, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and broth. Add salt and pepper. Continue cooking for about 5 minutes until all food is thoroughly heated.
Remove the pan from the heat and pour the mixture into one large baking dish.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, add the milk and butter and microwave on medium-high a few minutes, uncovered, until very hot. Add the cooked cauliflower and mash the mixture until it is creamy. Add salt and pepper to taste. Place a spoonful of the cauliflower mixture on top of the turkey mixture, then gently spread it with a spoon to cover evenly.
Place in the oven and bake until the top is golden-brown, about 30 min. Serve and Enjoy!
