INGREDIENTS

• 1 lb ground turkey (or ground chicken)

• 1 head cauliflower, sliced into florets

• 2 tablespoons avocado or olive oil

• 1 tsp each salt, pepper, and garlic powder

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

• 3 tablespoons butter or ghee

• 2 tablespoons minced garlic

• 1 tablespoon onion powder

• 1/4 cup coconut amino

• 2 tablespoons hot sauce (Sriracha or Cholula are my faves)

• 2 teaspoons sesame oil

• Fresh chopped cilantro (or parsley)

• 1/4 cup water

• Red chili pepper flakes

• Lemon slices, for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

1. For the cauliflower, you can choose to roast it in the oven at 400 for 20 minutes or sauté in the skillet. I personally prefer roasting it because it’s handsfree. Just toss the cauliflower with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder, throw on the sheet pan and bake.

2. If you prefer to sauté it, seat a large skillet over medium-low with one tablespoon of avocado or olive oil. Sauté the cauliflower florets in the skillet, under slightly golden brown, about 10-15 minutes, stirring often – make sure not to burn cauliflower. Deglaze with lemon juice, add some fresh cilantro, salt, and pepper to your taste, and toss to coat well. Remove to a shallow plate.

   2. In the same skillet (rinse the skillet if cauliflower has burnt), melt butter with one tablespoon oil and cook ground turkey, breaking the meat apart with a wooden spoon. When the turkey meat is no longer pink, add garlic, onion powder and give a quick stir. Add aminos, water, and hot sauce and continue cooking, stirring regularly, for a couple of minutes.

   3. Push ground turkey aside and return the cauliflower to the skillet. Reheat quickly and coat cauliflower in the sauce. Add a drizzle of sesame oil, sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro, and red chili pepper flakes, and garnish with lemon slices. Serve the Garlic Butter Turkey with Cauliflower immediately – enjoy!
