Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 small head green cabbage
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the cabbage by removing the outer leaves, coring it, and slicing it into thin strips. Set aside.
Step 2
Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
Step 3
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Step 5
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 6
Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until it is no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes.
Step 7
Season the turkey with paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Step 8
Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet. Pour in the chicken broth to help soften the cabbage. Stir well.
Step 9
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage has softened but still has a slight crunch.
Step 10
Cut the cream cheese into small cubes and add them to the skillet. Stir until the cream cheese melts and coats the turkey and cabbage evenly.
Step 11
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Step 12
Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
