1 ½ cups cauliflower florets
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup chicken broth low or no salt

Filling:

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb ground turkey
1 cup diced onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic about 2 garlic cloves
½ cup diced carrots
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon dried rosemary
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ cup low sodium chicken stock
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 cup peas
1 cup corn

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees & prepare a greased 8x8 (9x13 will also work) casserole dish.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil on the stove. Add potatoes and cauliflower florets. Boil for 10 minutes, until soft.
While the potatoes/cauliflower cook, heat olive oil in a pan. Brown ground turkey for 5 minutes. Add onions, garlic, and carrots. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until turkey is cooked through.
Add salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme, chicken broth, tomato paste and frozen veggies to the turkey mixture. Stir until combined.
Drain cooked potatoes & cauliflower.
In a large mixing bowl mash the potatoes, cauliflower, olive oil, garlic powder, pepper, salt, chicken broth and parmesan cheese. You can use a stand mixer or hand mixer to bring these ingredients together.
In a 8x8 casserole dish (9x13 will also work) layer the ground turkey/veggie filing. Top with cauliflower/potato filling and use a spatula to smooth out.
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes until the topping is golden brown, serve and enjoy!

Notes

Feel free to add more veggies to this recipe. If they are frozen, just make sure they are defrosted and drained. Green beans would be a great addition.

Feel free to use ground beef or ground chicken. You can also use leftover turkey breast for the turkey meat filling! It's great for Thanksgiving leftovers.

Any broth or stock (broth and stock are the same) can be used. Beef Broth, Chicken Broth, or vegetable broth all work interchangeably. I always use low or no salt broth.

Any potato will work in this recipe, just make sure they are peeled and chopped. We like yukon gold or russet best. You can also use leftover mashed potatoes as the topping!
