‘Unstuffed’ Cabbage with a Kick

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 tablespoon onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
• 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
• 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• Salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 head cabbage, cut into 1-inch squares

Directions

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground turkey in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Transfer cooked turkey to a bowl.

Heat olive oil in the skillet over medium heat; saute onion in hot oil until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic to onion; saute until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Pour diced tomatoes and tomato sauce over the onion mixture; season with Italian seasoning, basil, red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer tomato mixture until the tomatoes are softened, about 10 minutes.

Stir cabbage into the tomato mixture; continue cooking until cabbage is tender, 20 to 25 minutes.

Stir ground turkey into the mixture; cook to reheat the turkey, 1 to 2 minutes.
