Ingredients
  

  • ½ teaspoon (1 g / 0.04 oz) dried thyme, crushed
  • ½ small onion, chopped, approx. ¼ cup / 40g (1.41 oz)
  • 1 tablespoon (14 g / 0.49 oz) butter
  • ½ cup (50 g / 1.76 oz) cauliflower florets, boiled
  • ¼ cup (60 ml / 2 fl oz) heavy cream
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • ½ pound (227 g / 8 oz) cooked turkey meat, chopped
  • For an extra rich and cheesy dish, stir in ¼ cup of grated Parmesan or shredded cheddar cheese along with the heavy cream until melted.
  • Swap the dried thyme for 1 ½ teaspoons of fresh thyme for a brighter, more aromatic flavor. Fresh parsley or chives also make a great garnish.
  • Feel free to add other low-carb vegetables like chopped mushrooms or bell peppers. Sauté them with the onion until tender.
