• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon, divided Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon, divided Ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9x9 inch baking dish.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and boil for 8-10 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion, carrot, celery, and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes or until the vegetables are softened.

Step 4

Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook for 6-8 minutes or until the turkey is browned and fully cooked.

Step 5

Stir in the tomato paste, chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Add the peas and stir to combine. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, then remove it from the heat.

Step 6

In a food processor or blender, combine the cooked cauliflower, butter, heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Spread the turkey mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spoon the mashed cauliflower on top and spread it out evenly to cover the turkey layer.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is slightly golden.

Step 9

Let the cottage pie cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your low carb turkey cottage pie!
