Cauliflower should be tender but not mushy. Remove from heat. Drain well. Put the cauliflower back in pot with lid on and let stand for 5 minutes. This ensures the cauliflower doesn't get watery. Don't skip this step.

Place cooked cauliflower in the food processor with butter, salt, parsley, and garlic powder. Pulse until it becomes whipped/consistency of mashed potatoes Set aside.

PREPARE BASE: Brown the ground turkey over medium heat. Add minced garlic, onion and carrots over medium heat until softened, about 3-¬5 minutes. Add celery and mushrooms and cook for one additional minute. Add chicken broth to the mixture. Simmer over medium heat for about 15 mins until cooked through and some of the juice has cooked off so it’s not runny). Add frozen peas in for the last 10 minutes or so.

ASSEMBLE AND BAKE: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spread the ground turkey mixture into a 9 x 13 casserole dish. Spread mashed cauliflower evenly over the top. Sprinkle with Mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese and a dash of Paprika. Bake in the oven for 45 minutes until bubbling and cheese is cooked.
