Description
A comforting skillet dish featuring ground turkey and cauliflower, prepared with garlic butter and spices for a burst of flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into small florets
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- A pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
- Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until it’s browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Season the turkey with salt, black pepper, paprika, oregano, and red pepper flakes if using. Stir well to ensure the turkey is well coated with the spices.
- Add the cauliflower florets to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender, stirring occasionally.
- Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the skillet mixture and stir until melted and everything is well mixed.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
- Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the dish for added freshness.
Notes
For added nutrients, consider including spinach or bell peppers. Adjust the spice level by varying the amount of red pepper flakes.
