Customize It Instructions

  • If using ground turkey, break up until turkey reaches minimum internal temperature, 6-8 minutes. 

  • If using steak strips, pat dry, coarsely chop, then separate pieces. Stir occasionally until steak reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes. Rest, 3 minutes.

  1. 1

    Cook the Ground Beef

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.

    Add ground beef and half the minced garlic and parsley (reserve remaining for riced cauliflower) to hot, dry pan. Break up meat until no pink remains and beef reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 4-6 minutes.

    Carefully drain any excess liquid from pan, if desired. Pan will be hot! Use caution.

    Reduce heat to medium.

    Cook the Riced Cauliflower

    Place another large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.
