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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and garlic, sautéing for about 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Step 3
Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet, stirring occasionally, and cook for about 5 minutes until it begins to soften.
Step 4
Stir in the sliced red bell pepper and carrot, and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes until all vegetables start to tenderize.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the fresh chopped parsley on top for a burst of flavor and color before serving.
Step 8
Serve the savory cabbage and sausage skillet hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
