Here is a lower carb twist on a tried and true favorite at our house. It is a standby recipe for easy dinner fixing, and makes awesome leftovers for freezing for a second meal or sharing with a crowd. I grew up with this recipe and always topped it with regular mashed potatoes. This low carb version still meets “comfort food” standards.

Recipe type: Dinner
Serves: 6
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- Add:
- diced onion
- diced green pepper
- one 24 oz can of diced tomatoes
- one can of green beans
- Heat entire contents until very hot. Reduce temperature and cover while you make the "potatoes."
- Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes
- cauliflower
- 1 cup of chicken bullion
- about ⅓ brick of reduced fat cream cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preparation:
- Break the cauliflower up into florets, or just chop. Cook it in a steamer until it's tender -- a fork should easily pierce it
- While the cauliflower is hot, add all ingredients into blender or food processor. "Mash" the cauliflower down to as smooth a texture as you can. (I hate lumpy potatoes!)
