Instructions
1. Heat
olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and celery
and sauté, stirring frequently, until the veggies are soft, approximately 4-5
minutes.
2. Add
the mushrooms, ground turkey, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, garlic
powder, and onion powder to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper, to
taste. Cook, stirring frequently, until the turkey is no longer pink and the
mushrooms start to release their juices, approximately 5-7 minutes.
3. Reduce
heat to medium and add chicken stock. Simmer for 2-3 minutes or until heated
through. Add a spoonful of the hot liquid to the heavy cream to temper it before
adding it to the skillet, as well. Stir to combine and simmer for another 1-2
minutes.
4. Add
frozen cauliflower rice and 1½ cups of the shredded cheese to skillet and stir
to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until cauliflower is heated through and
cheese is completely melted. Taste and adjust seasonings, as desired.
5. Remove
from heat and transfer to individual soup bowls. To serve, top each bowl with
remaining cheese and fresh parsley, if desired. Enjoy!
