Ingredients
Method
0 of 9 done- 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.
- 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.
- In a medium non-stick pan over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- 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).
- 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.
- Fold the cooked cauliflower into the creamy turkey mixture, ensuring each piece is well coated, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the mixture to your prepared ovenproof dish and sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is golden brown and bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
