1
Boil cauliflower until very tender.

(About 40 minutes on medium heat) They should be so tender, minimal effort is needed to mash them.

Strain cauliflower.
4
Pat it dry carefully with a paper towel.

Get as much moisture out as possible.

If not, they become runny!

Saute ham, yellow onion and garlic cloves (3).

12
In the same pan as the ham, add oil and cook the ground turkey, salt and pepper.
13
Toss in the veggies except corn.
14
When nearly done, toss in ham, corn and Rosemary.
15
Simmer for about 10-15 minutes,
16
Using a casserole pan (I used a 13x9), spread meat mixture evenly.
17
(I had to strain out some liquid.).
18
Spread the mash directly over the meat mixture and spread evenly.
19
Sprinkle remaining cheese evenly on top.
20
Bake for 20 minutes or until cheese is golden brown.
21
Let cool.

Enjoy!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
