Creamy, cheesy garlic parmesan broccoli with turkey bacon and mushrooms – a perfect low-carb side dish or main course that’s both indulgent and nutritious.

 

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 ounces turkey bacon, cut into strips
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 pounds broccoli florets
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 5 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup vegetable or chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese
  • Chopped fresh parsley for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large oven-safe skillet, cook turkey bacon until crisp. Remove bacon, keeping 1 tablespoon fat in the skillet.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon butter and mushrooms to skillet. Cook 5-7 minutes until browned. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.
  3. Add remaining butter and broccoli to skillet. Season with salt and pepper and cook 6 minutes.
  4. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Reduce heat to low, then add cream, cream cheese, stock, half the cheeses, and paprika. Simmer 3-4 minutes until sauce is smooth.
  5. Return mushrooms and bacon to skillet, stirring to coat. Top with remaining cheeses.
  6. Bake for 15 minutes until bubbling and golden. Optionally broil 1-2 minutes for deeper browning.
  7. Let rest 5 minutes before garnishing with parsley and serving.

Notes

Nutrition facts are estimates and may vary based on ingredients used, portion sizes, and preparation methods. For the crispiest broccoli, don’t overcook during the stovetop phase. Fresh broccoli works best, but frozen can be substituted if thoroughly thawed and dried.
