  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan/gas mark 6) and prepare a small ovenproof dish by greasing it with a little butter.
  2. Cut the cauliflower into small, even-sized florets and steam or microwave them for 4-5 minutes until just tender but still firm, then drain thoroughly and set aside.
  3. In a medium non-stick pan over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  4. Add the diced turkey to the pan and cook until lightly golden, about 5-6 minutes if using fresh turkey (or 3-4 minutes if using pre-cooked leftover turkey).
  5. Reduce the heat to low and add the cream cheese, double cream, half of the grated cheddar, rosemary, and thyme to the pan, stirring until the cheese melts and creates a smooth sauce.
  6. Fold the cooked cauliflower into the creamy turkey mixture, ensuring each piece is well coated, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Transfer the mixture to your prepared ovenproof dish and sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is golden brown and bubbling.
  9. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
