Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant and softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
- Stir in chopped cauliflower and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the cauliflower begins to soften.
- Pour in the chicken broth, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Add oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
- Once the cauliflower has softened, remove the skillet from the heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with half of the shredded cheese. Add this mixture to the ground turkey and cauliflower, stirring until everything is well-coated.
- Transfer the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Top with the remaining cheese.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
