Its winter and on a cold day a shepherds pie is great comfort food that everyone in your family will love. This recipe is a healthy makeover.

Ingredients: Serves 4

1 head cauliflower chopped into florets

2 tbsps extra Virgin Olive Oil

1 Yellow Onion diced

1/2 cup baby peas(frozen)

4 Garlic cloves, minced

1 lb Lean Ground Turkey or grass-fed ground beef

3 cups mushrooms sliced

3 Carrots diced

3 stalks celery diced

1 tbsp all-purpose seasoning

1/2 tsp Sea Salt

1/4 tsp pepper

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350F.
Add cauliflower florets to a medium saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil. Let the florets boil until they are soft, about 15 minutes.

While the cauliflower is boiling, heat half of the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, cook for 5 minutes or until onions are translucent.

Add the meat of choice, and cook until browned.

Add the mushrooms, carrots, celery, peas, all-purpose seasonings, salt, and pepper. Continue to cook for a few minutes, until the meat is cooked through. Remove from heat.

Drain the cauliflower and discard cooking water. Return the cauliflower to the pot and add the other half of the olive oil and a sprinkle of salt. Mash well until the cauliflower becomes almost like a puree.

Transfer the meat mixture to a casserole or pie dish and distribute into an even layer. Top with the cauliflower mash and spread it evenly across the top.

Place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Turn the oven to a low broil and broil for 10 minutes or until golden. Remove from oven and serve.
