Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey
- 1 medium, diced Onion
- 1 medium, diced Carrot
- 1 stalk, diced Celery
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 1 large head, cut into pieces Cauliflower florets
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon, divided Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon, divided Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9x9 inch baking dish.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and boil for 8-10 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion, carrot, celery, and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes or until the vegetables are softened.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook for 6-8 minutes or until the turkey is browned and fully cooked.
Stir in the tomato paste, chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Add the peas and stir to combine. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, then remove it from the heat.
In a food processor or blender, combine the cooked cauliflower, butter, heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Spread the turkey mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spoon the mashed cauliflower on top and spread it out evenly to cover the turkey layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is slightly golden.
Let the cottage pie cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your low carb turkey cottage pie!
