- 1 medium onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the cabbage and cut it into thin strips. Set aside.
Grate the cheddar cheese and set it aside for later use.
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the onions to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Break it apart with a wooden spoon and cook for 8-10 minutes until browned and cooked through.
Season the turkey with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir well to combine.
Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet and mix it with the turkey. Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the cabbage to cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it softens.
Once the cabbage is tender, sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese over the top. Cover the skillet again for 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
