Ingredients

– 1 medium onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions
Follow these easy steps to create your delicious Turkey Cauliflower Rice:
1. Prepare the Cauliflower: If you’re using a whole head, remove the leaves and core, then cut into florets. Pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice, or use pre-riced cauliflower.
2. Cook the Turkey: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground turkey and cook until browned, stirring frequently, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Sauté the Vegetables: Add diced onion, garlic, and bell pepper to the turkey. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Season the Mixture: Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even flavor distribution.
5. Add Cauliflower: Fold in the riced cauliflower. Pour in the chicken broth to help with moisture and flavor.
6. Cook: Cover and simmer for about 5-7 minutes until the cauliflower is tender and the flavors meld together. If using spinach, add it in the last minute of cooking until wilted.
7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat. Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
This entire process should flow smoothly and yield a hearty meal in a short period of time.
