Try this shepherd’s pie for some added cruciferous vegetable goodness and ground turkey in place of heavy beef.

directions
Preheat oven to 350ºF.
Place roughly chopped cauliflower in a pot with about ½ cup water. The water should not cover the cauliflower, just enough so that the cauliflower will steam. Cover the pot and place on medium heat for about 3-5 minutes until cauliflower is soft.
Once cauliflower is steamed throw it in a food processor with garlic, sea salt and extra virgin olive oil. Blend until smooth. If you don’t have a food processor then mash with a masher or a fork.
Place a sauté pan on medium heat and pour in 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil or avocado oil. Add the onion, carrots and celery and saute for 5-7 minutes until onions are really translucent.
Add the ground turkey and cook until browned. Use the back of a spoon to break up the turkey and mix around so it is evenly cooked.
Add the tomato paste, Dijon mustard, and soup stock. If the broth is low sodium, add a pinch of sea salt.
Reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes until most of the liquid has been absorbed.
Oil a casserole dish and layer in the turkey mixture and then spread the mashed cauliflower on top. Use a fork to texture the top of the cauliflower. Bake for 40 minutes.
