Parmesan-Crusted Turkey with Mashed Cauliflower



1/2 of a head cauliflower, coarsely chopped (3 cups)
1/4 cup water
2 - 8 ounce turkey breast tenderloins, halved horizontally
Salt and ground black pepper
1/3 cup light mayonnaise
1/3 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons fine dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
Snipped fresh Italian parsley and/or paprika (optional)

1. Preheat broiler. In a microwave-safe 1 1/2-quart casserole, combine cauliflower and the water. Cover and microwave on 100-percent power (high) for 12 to 15 minutes or until very tender, stirring once.
2. Meanwhile, lightly sprinkle turkey with salt and pepper. Place on an unheated rack of a broiler pan. Broil 4 inches from heat for 5 minutes. Turn turkey pieces over; broil for 4 minutes more.
3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together mayonnaise, 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese, and the bread crumbs. Spread over turkey. Broil for 2 to 3 minutes more or until topping is golden and turkey is no longer pink (170 degrees F).
4. Add butter and the remaining Parmesan cheese to cauliflower; mash until smooth. If desired, sprinkle with parsley and/or paprika. Serve cauliflower with turkey.
