Lo-Carb Faux Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients
1 medium head cauliflower
1 tablespoon cream cheese, softened (fat free)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/8 teaspoon straight chicken base or bullion (may substitute 1/2 teaspoon salt)
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh or dry chives, for garnish
3 tablespoons unsalted butter (low fat butter, or half it with plain yogurt!)

Directions
Set a stockpot of water to boil over high heat.

Clean and cut cauliflower into small pieces. Cook in boiling water for about 6 minutes, or until well done. Drain well; do not let cool and pat cooked cauliflower very dry between several layers of paper towels.

In a bowl with an immersion blender, or in a food processor, puree the hot cauliflower with the cream cheese, Parmesan, garlic, chicken base, and pepper until almost smooth.

Garnish with chives, and serve hot with pats of butter.

Hint: Try roasting the garlic and adding a little fresh rosemary for a whole new taste.

Low carb!

Heat pan on the stove and cook the turkey sausage, can use the loose sausage or can cut the link sausage into chunks, when it is nearly done, add the rest of the ingredients and cook until most of the liquid has steamed off. Then you can add a bit of low-fat cheese/parmesan on top!
