Italian Shepherd’s Pie (made with fauxtatoes)

Cauliflower replaces potatoes in this version of the classic comfort food. 

Cauliflower Topping:

1 Package (10 oz) frozen cauliflower

Salt and Pepper

2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon Italian Seasonings

*if allowed, add 1/4 cup fat free cheddar cheese*

Boil cauliflower until it is soft enough for a fork to pierce through. Drain and put in a large bowl. 

With a fork (or if you have a potato masher), mash until the cauliflower resembles mashed potatoes (you can also use a blender, but I usually avoid it because it is something extra to clean!)

Season and mix with salt and pepper, garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Set aside.

Meaty Bottom:

1 package lean ground turkey (I use Jennie O’s Lean 93/7, 20 oz)

2 teaspoon fennel seed

1/2 teaspoon chili pepper

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 teaspoon garlic powder

2 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon oregano

2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1/2 medium onion, diced

1/2 medium green pepper, diced

2 clove garlic, diced

1 cup chicken broth (or bouillon)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees 

1. In a bowl combine ground turkey, garlic and onion powder, fennel seed, chili pepper, black pepper, oregano and Worcestershire sauce. Set aside

2. In a pan over medium high heat, saute onion, green pepper and garlic until soft. Add turkey mixture and cook until most of the pink in the turkey is gone. Add broth and simmer for a

bout 5 minutes. Add turkey to a baking dish and top with cauliflower mixture (top with cheddar cheese if your diet allows). Bake until heated through (and cheese has melted) about 25 minutes
