Ingredients
1 pound ground turkey
4 ounces cream cheese

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups cauliflower rice
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13 inch casserole dish.
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground turkey and cook until no longer pink, breaking it apart as it cooks.
3. Season the turkey with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning. Cook until lightly browned.
4. Add cream cheese to the skillet and stir until fully melted and combined.
5. Mix in the cauliflower rice until evenly distributed throughout the creamy turkey mixture.
6. Transfer everything into the prepared casserole dish and smooth the top.
7. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the top evenly.
8. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown.
9. Optional: Broil for 2–3 minutes for a crispier cheese layer, watching carefully.
10. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Let the casserole rest before slicing—it helps everything set perfectly.
Use room temperature cream cheese for easier melting and mixing.
Frozen cauliflower rice works great—just be sure to thaw and drain it first.
