Mashed "potato" cauliflower

Servings: 6 / Time: 35 minutes / Difficulty: Easy

Calories per serving: 217 / Fat: 20g / Protein: 5g / Net Carbs: 4g

Ingredients

• 420g/15oz of frozen cauliflower 
• 1 head of roasted garlic 
• A pinch of salt (to taste)
• 3 tbsp heavy cream (optional)
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter
• 115g/4.5oz cream cheese 
• 3 tbsp shredded parmesan cheese
  

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 355 F/180 C.
2. Put all the ingredients in a food processor. Process until smooth. Spoon into the baking dish. Top with parmesan cheese. 
3. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until golden.
   

Notes

• For the roasted garlic, slice the head down the middle, exposing the cloves. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and wrap in foil. Bake for 30 minutes at 400ºF/200ºC. 
• For the heavy cream: frozen cauliflower is already watery enough that cream isn't needed. Only use it when the cauliflower is fresh.

Keto Gravy

Servings: 6 / Time: 25 minutes / Difficulty: Easy

Calories per serving: 379 / Fat: 42g / Protein: 1g / Net Carbs: 0g

Ingredients

• 4 tbsp butter
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup turkey drippings 
• 1 ½ tbsp unflavored gelatin powder
• ½ cup cold water
  

Instructions

• After the turkey is done cooking, remove it from the oven, pour the contents through a fine-mesh sieve over a bowl, so that the drippings pour in the bowl. Discard the solids.
• In a bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold water. Set aside to bloom.
• In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, add the chicken broth and turkey drippings, and bring to a boil. Simmer until the volume is reduced by half.

Notes 

• If a film on top is formed, just whisk, and it will go away.
• If it gets too thick, or if it gets completely cold, just reheat it to make it pourable again.
