Bring a medium pot with cauliflower covered by water to a simmer.
Once simmering, stir occasionally until tender, 12-15 minutes.Remove from burner. Drain cauliflower in a colander/strainer. Don't rush draining the cauliflower; try to remove as much excess water as possible!Return cauliflower to pot, cover, and set aside.While cauliflower cooks, continue recipe.Alternatively, place cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl and cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave covered until very tender, 5-7 minutes. -
2 Form the Meatballs
Finely crush crackers in a mixing bowl.
Add ground turkey, half the garlic salt (reserve remaining for cauliflower mash), half the shredded cheese (reserve remaining for cauliflower mash and garnish), and a pinch of pepper to bowl with crackers and thoroughly stir to combine. Form mixture into 8 equally-sized meatballs. -
3 Cook the Meatballs
