INGREDIENTS:
1 lb ground turkey
1/2 head cauliflower, sliced into florets
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon onion powder
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons hot sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil
Fresh chopped cilantro
1/4 cup water
Red chili pepper flakes
Lemon slices, for garnish
DIRECTIONS
1. To make the Garlic Butter Turkey with Cauliflower: Heat a large skillet over medium-low with one tablespoon vegetable oil. Saute the pre-cooked cauliflower florets in the skillet, under slightly golden brown – make sure not to burn cauliflower. Deglaze with lemon juice, add in some fresh cilantro, salt and pepper to your taste, and toss to coat well. Remove to a shallow plate.
2. In the same skillet (rinse the skillet if cauliflower has burnt), melt butter with one tablespoon oil and cook ground turkey, breaking the meat apart with a wooden spoon. When the turkey meat is no longer pink, add garlic, the onion powder and give a quick stir. Add soy sauce, water, and hot sauce and continue cooking, stirring regularly, for a couple of minutes.
3. Push ground turkey aside and return the cauliflower to the skillet. Reheat quickly and coat cauliflower in the sauce. Add a drizzle of sesame oil, sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro, red chili pepper flakes and garnish with lemon slices. Serve the Garlic Butter Turkey with Cauliflower immediately – enjoy!
