Cauliflower rice - (Skip if made ahead for Tuesday.) Pulse florets in a food processor until broken up into ‘rice’-sized bits. Cook rice in one of two ways: 1) Microwave for 4 to 5 minutes and then fold in butter. Season with some salt and pepper; or 2) Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add butter. Saute cauliflower in heated butter for ~5 minutes, until tender but still crunchy. Season to taste with some salt and pepper. Watch this video for the full how-to on cauliflower rice. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
-
Sweet potatoes / Shallots / Garlic / Bell peppers - Prep as directed. Store sweet potatoes in one container. Combine shallots, garlic, and bell peppers in another container. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
-
Season turkey - Combine ground turkey with salt, coriander, oregano, paprika, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix with hands or a wooden spoon. (Can be done up to 2 days ahead)
