Paleo Thanksgiving! Cauliflower mashed potatoes with pulled turkey and cranberries






















Mashed potatoes are not Paleo...or are they!  I found a great way to make a little Paleo Thanksgiving dinner for my husband and I one night to celebrate Fall!  Here is what you need:
  • 1 head cauliflower
  • 1/4 cup chicken stalk 
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries 
  • 2 tsp cinnamon 
  • 1/2 lb turkey 
  • 1/4 cup onions 
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 fresh garlic cloves 
  • Salt and Pepper to taste 

Mashed Potatoes:
  1. Fill a large saucepan with about an inch of water, and insert a steamer basket. Bring the water to a boil, and add the cauliflower. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cover for about 8 minutes.
  2. Drain the steamed cauliflower, and transfer to the bowl of a large food processor. Add in the lemon juice, garlic, and seasonings, and process until smooth.
Turkey and Cranberries:

You can use a pan to cook these together but I used  my slow cooker.
  1. Add the chicken stock, onions, cranberries, cinnamon, and turkey into the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours.
  2. Once cooked, serve with the mashed potatoes. 

Enjoy your Paleo dinner!
