Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet over medium-low heat, pour in a tablespoon of vegetable oil and allow it to warm. Add pre-cooked cauliflower florets and sauté for about 5–7 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crisp-tender. To enhance the flavors, deglaze the pan with a splash of lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Once cooked, transfer the cauliflower to a plate and set aside.
  2. Using the same skillet, melt a tablespoon of butter along with a drizzle of vegetable oil over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the ground turkey, cooking for about 7–10 minutes, or until it's no longer pink, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. When the turkey is cooked, stir in minced garlic and onion powder, and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Once the turkey is nicely cooked and aromatic, push it to one side of the skillet. Reintroduce the sautéed cauliflower to the other side, allowing both to mingle in the pan. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the cauliflower is well-coated with the savory garlic butter ground turkey mixture. For a delicious finishing touch, drizzle in sesame oil and give everything a good stir before serving.
  4. Spoon the Garlic Butter Ground Turkey with Cauliflower onto plates, and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for a burst of freshness. Serve immediately while hot.
