Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, mashed
¼ cup Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon reduced-fat cream cheese
½ teaspoon sea salt
⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound ground turkey
1 ½ cups hot water
½ cup whole wheat elbow macaroni
½ cup frozen peas
1 (1.25 ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix
½ teaspoon paprika

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add cauliflower; cover and steam until tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir garlic until softened, about 2 minutes.
  • Blend cauliflower, garlic, Parmesan cheese, cream cheese, salt, and pepper in a blender until smooth.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground turkey in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Stir water, macaroni, peas, and soup mix into turkey; simmer until pasta is tender yet firm to the bite, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Pour pasta mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread cauliflower mixture over pasta mixture. Sprinkle paprika over the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 20 minutes.
