INGREDIENTS

  • Vegetables

    • 5 cups diced celery
    • 5 cups finely chopped mushrooms
    • 🧅 ½ medium onion, diced
    • 2 medium zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch slices
    • 4 (10 ounce) packages frozen cauliflower rice

  • Meat

    • 3 pounds lean ground turkey

  • Seasoning and Spices

    • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
    • 1 tablespoon dried thyme
    • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
    • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
    • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
    • ½ teaspoon sea salt
    • ½ teaspoon paprika

  • Sauces and Other

    • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
    • ¼ cup almond flour
    • 1 (8 ounce) can low-sodium tomato sauce

  • Dairy

    • 🥛 ⅓ cup milk
    • 2 tablespoons butter, divided

STEPS

1

Heat avocado oil in a very large skillet over medium-high heat. Add celery, mushrooms, and onion; saute until onion is translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes.

2

Crumble turkey into the skillet. Add parsley, thyme, garlic powder, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and sea salt. Cook until turkey is no longer pink and has absorbed most of the liquid, about 15 minutes.

3

Sprinkle almond flour over the mixture and cook for 1 minute. Stir in tomato sauce until combined; cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.

4

Transfer the mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish and layer with sliced zucchini.

5

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

6

Cook cauliflower rice in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until hot, about 5 minutes. Set 1 cup aside in a large bowl.

7

Transfer remaining cauliflower rice to a food processor with milk and 1 tablespoon butter; blend until smooth. Mix with reserved rice for added texture.

8

Spread cauliflower mixture over the meat and zucchini. Cut remaining 1 tablespoon butter into small pieces and dot over the cauliflower. Sprinkle with paprika.

9

Bake in the preheated oven until the cauliflower topping has a golden hue, for 30 to 35 minutes.
