DAY #14 - ROAST TURKEY BREAST WITH PUREED CAULIFLOWER AND ASPARAGUS





This was an awesome dinner and brought the smell of Thanksgiving into the house. The pureed Cauliflower
takes the place of mashed potatoes for us. Starting to feel like I am losing. My pants aren't as tight (yipee!).
That is a blessing. Maybe by the time I go to Vegas I will actually look decent in shorts! I guess we will
have to wait and see. Recipe follows:

Turkey Breast
Rub the all over with melted butter. Salt and pepper and sprinkle with Herbs De Provence. Roast on a rack
in the over with some water in the bottom of the pan at 350 degrees. Baste about every 1/2 hour with some
chicken broth. Once done - take out of pan and wrap in foil to rest. Put enough chicken broth in the pan to
help break up the pieces on the bottom. Simmer away on the stove until it is reduced some and then add
a pat of butter. Taste for seasoning. This takes the place of your gravy.

Pureed Cauliflower
This serves 4
1 head cauliflower chunked
2 to 3 T of cream
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup grated pepperjack cheese
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup grated cheddar for the top
Steam cauliflower until quite soft, but not falling apart like mush.
Place in a food processor and process with cream until smooth.
Stir in parmesan and pepperjack cheeses.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Place in a small casserole dish and back at 350 degrees for about
1/2 hour. Top with cheddar and return to the oven until cheese melts.
