Ingredients

  • 1 small head of cabbage, shredded
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

  4. Remove the turkey from the skillet and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, add the shredded cabbage. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and golden brown. If needed, add a splash of water to prevent sticking.

  7. Season with salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if desired). Adjust the seasoning to taste.
  8. Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
