Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground turkey or chicken
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, and chili powder. Cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. Add the cauliflower florets and chicken broth to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender-crisp.
  5. Remove the lid and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the cauliflower is fully tender.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For a spicier dish, add a pinch of cayenne pepper with the other spices.
  • You can substitute ground beef for the turkey if preferred.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like chopped bell peppers or broccoli.
