This combines some of my favorite things - creamy mock mashed potatoes (cauliflower) and crumbly, yummy turkey. I have been low on iron since my surgery, and this is a great way to weave in some delicious iron rich spinach. Also, I struggle to get veggies - which this dish combines the two (cauliflower and spinach). You could throw in some cooked carrots, zucchini, or other favs. Make it your own.
Here is a casserole/hot dish (I live in Minnesota) idea that I tried last night, and it turned out pretty tasty:
Mock Shepard's Pie with Spinach
Ingredients
1 bag of frozen Cauliflower (cooked according to package directions, and drained)
1/2 c. Ricotta cheese
4 slices of Provolone Cheese
1/2 grated Parmesan Cheese
3/4 to 1 lb. ground Turkey
1/2 to 3/4 c. frozen spinach (I used Earthbound Organics Frozen Leaf Spinach)
1. Combine cooked/drained cauliflower, ricotta, and salt/pepper to taste in a food processor. Blend until creamy.
2. Cook ground turkey and frozen spinach (until crumbly).
3. Pour cauliflower/ricotta blend into a round pie dish or 8x8 glass dish. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes.
4. Remove cauliflower/ricotta blend from oven and top with turkey/spinach mix. Sprinkle Parmesan over the top, then top with provolone cheese.
5. Bake for 45 minutes at 350.
6. Cut and serve (or in my case, let it cool - put in the refrigerator for lunches)
