Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

  2. Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add cauliflower, cover and steam until tender, 10 to 12 minutes.

  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, cook and stir garlic until softened, about 2 minutes.

  4. Blend cauliflower, garlic, Parmesan cheese, cream cheese, salt, and pepper in a blender until smooth.

  5. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground turkey in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes, drain and discard grease. Stir water, macaroni, peas, and soup mix into turkey, simmer until pasta is tender yet firm to the bite, 5 to 10 minutes.

  6. Pour pasta mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread cauliflower mixture over pasta mixture. Sprinkle paprika over the top.

  7. Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 20 minutes.
