8 Servings Mashed Cauliflower Casserole -- See Recipe
2 Cloves Garlic
1 Medium Onions
2 Stalks Celery -- With Leaves
1 Tablespoon Peanut Oil
1 1/2 Pounds Ground Chicken -- Or Turkey
1 Tablespoon ExpertF not/Starch
1 1/2 Teaspoons Dried Thyme
1 Teaspoon Dried Rosemary -- Crumbled
1/2 Teaspoon Dried Savory
1/4 Teaspoon Dried Sage -- Crumbled
Salt And Pepper -- To Taste
1 1/2 Cups Chicken Stock
1 Cup Frozen Spinach -- Or 1/2 Pound
1/4 Cup Whipping Cream 35%

Defrost and drain the spinach thoroughly. Prepare the Mashed Cauliflower
recipe (or take it out of the fridge if made in advance). Preheat the
oven to 400F (200C). Oil or panspray a 12-Cup (3-Litre) baking or
casserole dish.

Finely chop the garlic, onion and celery. Heat the oil in a large skillet
(medium heat) and saute the chopped vegetables for up to 15 minutes or
until softened but not browned. Add the ground chicken or turkey and
brown, breaking up with a wooden spoon (if using cooked leftover chicken
or turkey, saute and stir the cubed or shredded meat until heated
through).

Stir the herbs and the not/Starch together in a small bowl; then stir
into the browned vegetable and meat mixture, pour in the chicken stock and
stir to blend thoroughly, bringing back to a simmer. Turn off the heat,
and stir in the drained spinach and the whipping cream. Add salt and
pepper (I like sea salt and white pepper in this dish) to taste.

Ladle the meat and vegetable mixture into the baking dish. Spoon the
Mashed Cauliflower over the top, covering it completely.

Place on a baking/cookie sheet and bake for up to 25 minutes (you may wish
to loosely tent with foil if the topping starts to brown too much halfway
through the baking).
OR
Let cool completely, wrap with plastic wrap and foil and freeze for up to
2 months. Cook from frozen for 50 minutes or until hot all the way
through (loosely tenting with foil if the topping starts to brown too much
halfway through the baking).
