Preparation

1. Turkey Preparation

1. Season the turkey breast with salt and pepper.
2. Heat a stainless steel pan over medium-high heat.
3. Sauté the turkey for 3–4 minutes until just slightly pink inside.
4. Remove from the pan, slice into thin slivers, and pulse in a food chopper until finely shredded.
5. Set aside.

Do NOT wash the pan—you’ll use it to build the gravy base with all those flavorful brown bits!

2. Cauliflower Mash

1. Boil cauliflower for 5–6 minutes or until tender.
2. Drain and transfer the hot cauliflower to a food chopper.
3. Add:
   • Pink salt
   • Celery seeds
   • Fresh parsley
   • Garlic powder
4. Add a splash of Imagine chicken broth and blend until you reach mashed-potato consistency.
5. Set aside.

3. Poultry Gravy

1. Return the original turkey sauté pan to medium-high heat.
2. Add the chicken stock ¼ cup at a time, allowing each addition to boil down and deepen in color before adding more. You’ll use 1–2 cups total depending on thickness preference.
3. Add:

• Poultry herbs
• Simple Girl Bouillon
• Parsley
• Onion powder

1. Cook for 2–3 minutes.
2. Add the finely crushed Wasa crackers and stir until the gravy thickens.
3. Keep warm.

4. Assemble the Casserole

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. Spray an 8x8" casserole dish.
3. Spread the cooked shredded turkey evenly across the bottom.
4. In a small bowl, combine 1 crushed Wasa cracker with ¼ cup of the cauliflower mash to create the topping.
5. Spread the remaining cauliflower mash over the turkey layer.
6. Sprinkle the Wasa/cauliflower topping evenly over the casserole.
7. Bake for 10–15 minutes, until hot and lightly golden.
8. Slice into 4 equal servings.
