Ingredients

  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 2 lbs cabbage coarsely chopped
  • 1 cup homemade tomato sauce or your favorite tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • ½ cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • Fresh parsley for garnishing

Instructions

  • In a cast iron skillet, add olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add onion and cook until golden brown, stirring occasionally.
  • Add ground turkey and cook for 10 minutes or so, breaking it into small pieces and stirring occasionally.
  • Add cabbage and cook for about 5 minutes. Don’t forget to stir well.
  • Add tomato sauce, broth, salt, and pepper and stir well to combine all the ingredients together.
  • Cook for 7 minutes.
  • Add peas and cook for more 2 minutes.
  • Top with mozzarella cheese and cover the skillet just to melt the cheese. It only takes about 1 or 2 minutes.
  • Serve warm topped with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • It's fine to use a large non-stick skillet if you do not have a cast-iron skillet.
  • If possible, use low sodium broth and salt to taste.
  • Feel free to use any type of cabbage such as green or purple. 
  • To store: Store the turkey and cabbage skillet in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • To reheat: Reheat the leftovers in the microwave until hot.
