Cauliflower Bacon Medley

The concept of this dish was super hard for me to come to grips with. It basically came down to this: I had a head of cauliflower that I wanted to eat, I have a fully cooked turkey with no one to help me eat it, what the fuck am I going to do with them? Granted that's not the best picture, and this dish has some major issues (what I would consider issues, not what most people consider issues), but it is tasty, easy to make, and just used my whole head of cauliflower and 13oz of turkey.

Cauliflower Bacon Medley
Simmer a whole head of cauliflower flowerettes in 1 cup of Brandon's Paleo Broth, cover, cook until tender, strain. In another pan cook some cut up, chorizo-spiced bacon. I used three pieces because I thought they would poor out fat, but they didn't and I needed that fat to cook the following ingredients: 1/2 thinly sliced red onion, two cloves garlic, 13oz turkey. 6-7 slices would have done it. Maybe the turkey was just over cooked and soaked up all the fat, but either way, as soon as I added the turkey to the bacon/onion/garlic it dried up on me. I added some olive oil, salt, pepper, and red pepper (late addition for me, I'm trying new things too). Add cauliflower, stir. Again, I had to add more chorizo spice and olive oil. Simmer briefly and eat.
Cut your cauliflower pieces into bite size pieces, I left mine huge, forgetting that tender cauliflower doesn't cut with a fork.
