Steps:

  • Add the parsnips, green beans, and cooked ground turkey and stir to combine.
  • Add the McCormick® Turkey Gravy Mix, flour, pepper, thyme, sage, milk, and chicken stock, and fold into the filling until well incorporated. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the sauce begins to thicken. Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the filling to a 2-quart casserole dish.

1 tablespoon avocado oil
5 cups diced celery
5 cups finely chopped mushrooms
½ medium onion, diced
3 pounds lean ground turkey
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 tablespoon dried thyme
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ cup almond flour
1 (8 ounce) can low-sodium tomato sauce
2 medium zucchini, cut into 1/4-inch slices
4 (10 ounce) packages frozen cauliflower rice (such as Green Giant®)
⅓ cup milk
2 tablespoons butter, divided
½ teaspoon paprika

Steps:

  • Heat avocado oil in a very large skillet over medium-high heat. Add celery, mushrooms, and onion; saute until onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Crumble turkey into the skillet.

Transfer remaining cauliflower rice to a food processor with milk and 1 tablespoon butter; blend until smooth. Mix with reserved rice for added texture.
  • Spread cauliflower mixture over the meat and zucchini. Cut remaining 1 tablespoon butter into small pieces and dot over the cauliflower. Sprinkle with paprika.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the cauliflower topping has a golden hue, 30 to 35 minutes.
