Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 12 ounces lean turkey sausage
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 small head green cabbage, chopped
- 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium carrot, sliced
- 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the turkey sausage and cook until browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and garlic, sautéing for about 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet, stirring occasionally, and cook for about 5 minutes until it begins to soften.
Stir in the sliced red bell pepper and carrot, and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes until all vegetables start to tenderize.
Return the browned sausage to the skillet, and pour in the chicken broth. Sprinkle the dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper over the mixture.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are cooked through and the flavors meld together.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the fresh chopped parsley on top for a burst of flavor and color before serving.
Serve the savory cabbage and sausage skillet hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
