Turkey & Cauliflower Alfredo Pasta

This dish was a hit with the family! The cauliflower alfredo sauce makes this meal a little on the lighter side, but packs lots of flavor.

Ingredients

Noodles:
8 oz. fettuccine noodles, cooked according to package instructions

Meat:
1 lb. ground turkey
½ tablespoon oil
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon of dried parsly

Sauce:
1 Cup Cauliflower, Cooked
3/4 Cup 1% Milk
2 Oz. Cream Cheese
1/2 Tbsp. Flour
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. Salt
1 Tbsp. Unsalted Butter
2 Garlic Cloves, Minced
1/2 cup Italian Cheese blend, Shredded (2% milk if available)

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat, drizzle oil in skillet; Add meat to the skillet and cook for a few minutes. Then sprinkle and stir in black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and parsley. Cook and stir turkey until turkey is crumbly and no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Cover, turn off heat and set aside.

Place the cooked cauliflower, milk, cream cheese, flour, salt, onion powder and black pepper, into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. In a large sauce pan, melt the butter over medium-high heat and add in the garlic. Sauté for a few seconds, careful not to burn.

Add the cauliflower mixture to the pan and cook, stirring constantly for 3-4 minutes or until be begins to come to a simmer. Continue to stir, cooking for a few more minutes to allow the sauce to thicken.
Once thickened, remove the pan from the heat and add in the cheese.

Dish up plates with noodles, meat and then pour a ¼ cup per plate, of sauce over the meat and noodles.
