Ingredients
Instructions
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey, season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Cook, breaking up meat, until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer turkey to a plate and cover to keep warm.
In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and broccoli florets. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until bright green and just tender.
Reduce heat to low. Add heavy cream to the broccoli, stirring to coat, then sprinkle in cheddar cheese. Stir until cheese melts and a creamy sauce forms, about 2 minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Meanwhile, microwave or sauté riced cauliflower until hot and tender (about 3 minutes in microwave or 5 minutes in a skillet with a splash of oil). Season lightly with salt and pepper.
To assemble bowls: Divide cauliflower rice between 4 bowls. Top each with turkey, then spoon over broccoli cheddar sauce. Serve immediately.
