Total Time1 hour 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 skin-on turkey breast
  • 1 head of cauliflower
  • 1/4 cup lard or other fat
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 2 cups vegetables
  • Salt to taste
  • Herbs for garnish

Instructions

  • Simmer the turkey breast covered in filtered water for 1 hour.
  • While the turkey is cooking, clean and chop the cauliflower. Only use the florets for GAPS Intro.
  • Simmer the cauliflower in a small amount of water or broth for 30 minutes, or until very tender.
  • 30 minutes before dinner is to be served, start simmering the vegetables for 30 minutes.
  • Drain any extra water (do not drain if using broth). Puree the cauliflower with the lard and garlic until smooth. These are your "potatoes."
  • When the turkey is fully cooked, remove from the broth.
  • Remove the skin of the turkey. Place this in a blender with a small amount of broth and small amount of salt. Puree until smooth. Use this for gravy.
  • Shred or slice the turkey.
  • Serve the turkey, cauliflower potatoes, and vegetables topped with gravy, salt to taste, herbs if desired (rosemary is phenomenal), and turkey broth on the side. Enjoy!
