# Step-by-Step Directions:

Combine grated cucumber, chopped garlic, Greek yogurt, chopped mint, and kosher salt in a bowl. Mix thoroughly and allow to rest at room temperature until serving.
02 -
In a large bowl, toss sliced cucumbers, chopped onion, quartered cherry tomatoes, extra-virgin olive oil, and kosher salt until evenly combined. Let sit at room temperature until ready to serve.
03 -
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add frozen cauliflower rice in an even layer and cover. Cook undisturbed for 8 minutes. Uncover, stir in garlic and salt, and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until some cauliflower browns lightly and garlic is fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, stir in lemon zest, and cover to keep warm.
04 -
In the same skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil. Add chopped onions and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Incorporate ground turkey, garlic, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Break turkey into small pieces and cook, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink and pan liquids evaporate, approximately 6 to 8 minutes.

Divide cauliflower rice, turkey mixture, and cucumber salad among serving bowls. Top each with a dollop of prepared tzatziki and serve with peperoncini on the side.
