Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 12 ounces Lean turkey sausage
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 small Green cabbage, chopped
- 1 large Red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the turkey sausage to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until browned and cooked through. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sauté for about 3 minutes or until it begins to soften.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Add the chopped cabbage and sliced red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until the vegetables start to soften.
Return the sausage to the skillet and mix everything together.
Pour the low-sodium chicken broth into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Add the dried thyme, paprika, and black pepper.
Cover the skillet and let the mixture cook for about 8 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and the flavors have melded together.
Uncover and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your heart-healthy savory cabbage and sausage skillet!
