- 4 cloves garlic

6. Finally, garnish the dish with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve the Garlic Butter Ground Turkey with Cauliflower Skillet warm and enjoy!
Notes
For the best texture, be sure to break up the ground turkey as it cooks, allowing it to brown evenly.
Adjust the cooking time for the cauliflower based on your desired level of tenderness. If you prefer a softer texture, feel free to let it cook a bit longer.
Experiment with different spice blends or herbs to customize the flavor profile to your liking. Dried oregano, Italian seasoning, or even a dash of red pepper flakes could be delicious additions.
This dish can be easily prepped in advance and reheated for a quick and satisfying weeknight meal. Simply store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
