If you like basil, you will love this "rice." The cauliflower sucks up all the flavors from the basil and bacon. It tastes fantastic.
4 cups cooked cauliflower "rice"
1 cup pesto
1/2 cup pine nuts
8- to 10-pound turkey
Butter or coconut oil
Bacon slices
To make the "rice," cut the cauliflower into pieces and pulse in a food processor until small pieces of "rice." (click HERE to find the one I love on sale for $30! Original price $78!)."TIP: You can also use the heart of the cauliflower for rice, or use for making "French Fries." (TIP: can do this up to 2 days ahead of time and store in fridge for easy lunch/dinner options). Stir fry the cauliflower "rice" for about 3-5 minutes or until cauliflower pieces are done to desired liking. If you want a visual, click HERE to see a video of me making Cauliflower Risotto on KARE 11 TV.
Toss the cauliflower rice with the pesto and pine nuts and stuff the bird lightly. Close the vent and truss the bird. Rub well with butter or olive oil. Place the turkey on its side on a rack in a roasting pan. Cover with slices of bacon and roast at 325° for 1 hour. Turn on other side and roast for another hour. Turn the bird on its back and roast with bacon covering the breast and legs until the bird is tender and done. Baste from time to time.
