Ingredients

  • 3 slices thick-cut bacon chopped (whole30 complaint)
  • ½ yellow onion finely chopped
  • 2 large carrots peeled chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 lb ground turkey Italian sausage (whole30 compliant)
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 32 oz chicken bone broth
  • 1 14-oz can diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1 large head cabbage thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Place the chopped bacon in a large stockpot and heat over medium-high. Cook until bacon begins to soften and sweat, about 2 minutes. Add the onion, carrots, and garlic and continue cooking until vegetables have softened but are still al dente, about 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Scoot the vegetables off to one side of the stockpot and add the turkey Italian sausage, paprika, oregano and sea salt. Allow meat to brown on one side for 2 minutes, then flip it and continue cooking 1 minute more. Add the bone broth and diced tomatoes, cover, and bring soup to a full boil.
  • Add the cabbage and replace the cover. Cook 40 minutes, stirring occasionally until cabbage has cooked down.
  • Taste stew for flavor and add sea salt to taste.

Notes

  • Make sure to chop your carrots and sausage uniformly so they cook evenly. 
  • Make sure the bacon you buy is Whole30 compliant. 
  • When preparing the cabbage, make sure you remove the outer leaves and the core.
  • To store: Store the cabbage and sausage stew in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • To reheat: Reheat the stew on the stovetop or in the microwave.
