  • 1 lb Italian sausage, crumbled
  • 1 Tbsp ghee
  • 1 onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1/2 tsp. poultry seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp. thyme salt pepper

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Drizzle cauliflower with avocado oil, season with salt and pepper and roast for 15-20 minutes.
  3. In a large skillet, add the ghee and cook sausage.
  4. Remove from pan with slotted spoon to separate dish.
  5. Add onions to pan and cook for 5-10 minutes until lightly caramelized.
  6. Add celery and cook to soften, then add garlic, cook a minute more. (Add more ghee if needed)
  7. Add herbs, add the sausage and roasted cauliflower to the pan. Toss together to heat through.
  8. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to serving bowl and serve.

Makes 8 servings.

Note from Crystal: I thought it tasted pretty good but it didn’t sing the praises of my daughter making the original recipe. With the leftovers, I made it into soup.
