Instructions

  1. Make the Cauliflower Mash: (See related recipe here) Heat a large skillet and add 1 TBSP (15 ml) olive oil.  Sauté minced garlic for 1 minute.  Add riced cauliflower and sauté for another 5 minutes until slightly golden.  Add 1 cup almond milk and ¼ tsp salt.  Simmer on medium heat for 10 minutes until all of the liquid is absorbed.  Using a food processor or immersion blender, puree cauliflower until completely smooth.  Taste and add salt or pepper if desired.
  2. Make the Filling: Heat oven to 350 °F (180°C) degrees.
  3. Heat 1 TBSP olive oil in a clean skillet.
  4. Add minced garlic and chopped onion and carrots.  Saute for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  5. Add ground turkey, ½ tsp (2.5 ml) salt and ¼ tsp (1.25 ml) pepper to the skillet.  Sauté about 5-6 minutes until the turkey is cooked through.
  6. Add frozen peas, broth, tomato paste, butter, coconut aminos (if using), rosemary and thyme to the skillet.
  7. Simmer on medium heat for 7-8 minutes until most of the liquid is thick and mostly absorbed.  Taste and add salt and pepper if desired.
  8. Place the filling mixture in an 8×8 inch (20 x 20 cm) baking dish. Top the filling with the cauliflower mash, making sure to cover completely.
  9. Place the pan in the oven and bake at 350°F (180°C) degrees for 25 minutes or until the top is slightly browned.
  10. Remove from the oven and allow the dish to cool on the counter for 10-15 minutes before serving.
