Ingredients

  • roasted turkey breast 6 oz
  • cauliflower 1 cup
  • broccoli 1 cup
  • olive oil 1 tbsp

Method

  1. Prepare the Cauliflower. Wash the cauliflower thoroughly and cut it into small florets to ensure even cooking.
    Tip: Cut florets to similar sizes for uniform steaming.
  2. Steam the Cauliflower. Place the cauliflower florets in a steamer basket over boiling water. Cover and steam for about 10-12 minutes until tender when pierced with a fork.
    Tip: Avoid overcooking to prevent mushy texture.
  3. Mash the Cauliflower. Transfer the steamed cauliflower to a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and mash with a fork or potato masher until smooth and creamy. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
    Tip: For extra creaminess, add a splash of warm water or broth.
  4. Prepare the Broccoli. Wash the broccoli and cut into florets. Place in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for 6-8 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
    Tip: Do not oversteam to preserve nutrients and color.
  5. Heat the Roasted Turkey Breast. If using pre-cooked roasted turkey breast, slice it into 6 oz portions. Warm it gently in a microwave or skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until heated through.
    Tip: Cover loosely to retain moisture while reheating.
  6. Plate and Serve. Arrange the mashed cauliflower, steamed broccoli, and roasted turkey breast on a plate. Drizzle a little olive oil over the broccoli for added flavor and healthy fats.
    Tip: Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme if available.

Pro tips

  • Use a steamer basket or microwave-safe bowl with a lid for efficient steaming.
