Ingredients

• Lean Ground Turkey – I used 3 pounds of 93% lean ground turkey but use whatever kind you would like! You can also substitute the ground turkey for ground chicken, pork, or beef.
• Yellow Onion – 1 small onion, diced.
• Cream Cheese – 6 ounces of low fat cream cheese
• Chicken Broth – 1 cup of low sodium chicken broth.
• Heavy Whipping Cream – 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream for the ultimate creamy skillet.
• Butter – 1 tablespoon, to sauté the onion.
• Garlic Powder – 1 teaspoon, or to taste.
• Dan-O’s – 1/2 tsp Spicy Dan-O’s Seasoning, or to taste. You can actually use the discount code “COOKINGKATIE″ for 10% off at Dan-O’s! I love Dan-O’s seasoning because it is zero calories, low sodium, and has no chemicals or sugar.
• Tomato Paste – 6 ounces of tomato paste for the sauce.
• Cauliflower Rice – I used two 12 ounce bags of frozen cauliflower rice. You can make your own, but I like to make it easy haha!
• Cheddar Cheese – I used 1/2 cup of mild shredded cheese. You can use your preferred type of cheese though!
• Mozzarella Cheese – 1/2 cup – Again, feel free to use your favorite kinds of cheese!
• Parsley – Dry or fresh, to taste.
• Red Pepper Flakes – To taste.
• Salt & Pepper – To taste.

How To Make It

1. Preheat a large skillet over medium high heat (or two regular sized ones if you don’t have a super large one). Melt the butter and then add the onion & ground turkey. Break up the meat and cook until fully cooked through. Drain any excess liquid from the turkey.
2. Steam the riced cauliflower in the microwave according to the package directions.
3. Add the cream cheese to the skillet and stir until melted.
4. Add in the chicken broth, heavy whipping cream, garlic powder, Dan-O’s, tomato paste, cauliflower rice, and salt & pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly. Cook for 5 minutes on medium/low heat.
5. Sprinkle both of the shredded cheeses on top and simmer until cheese is melted.
6. Garnish with parsley and chili pepper flakes. Serve and enjoy!
