Ingredients

  • 4 cups roughly chopped cauliflower
  • 10 oz. raw boneless skinless turkey (or chicken) breast cutlet
  • 3/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. black pepper
  • 2 cups fat-free milk
  • 2 tbsp. plus 2 tsp. light whipped butter or light buttery spread
  • 3/4 cup chopped onion
  • 3/4 cup chopped carrots
  • 3/4 cup chopped celery
  • 1 tsp. poultry seasoning
  • 3/4 tsp. dried parsley
  • 1 1/2 cups turkey (or chicken) broth
  • 1 cup turkey stuffing mix (about 1/3rd of a 6-oz. box)

Preparation

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook cauliflower until very tender, about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook turkey. If needed, pound turkey to an even thickness. Season with 1/8 tsp. each salt and pepper. Bring a large skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat.

Place drained cauliflower in a blender or food processor. Add milk, and puree until mostly smooth and uniform.

Over medium-high heat, melt 2 tbsp. butter in the (empty) pot. Add veggies, and sprinkle with 1/8 tsp. each salt and pepper. Cook and stir until slightly softened, about 5 minutes.

Add cauliflower puree, chopped turkey, poultry seasoning, and parsley to the pot. Add 1 cup broth, remaining 1/2 tsp. salt, and remaining 1/4 tsp. pepper.

Once boiling, reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes, or until veggies are tender.

Meanwhile, in a medium-large microwave-safe bowl, combine stuffing mix, remaining 1/2 cup broth, and remaining 2 tsp. butter. Mix well. Cover and microwave for 5 minutes, or until liquid has been absorbed. Using a fork, gently mix until light and fluffy.
