Description
A simple, deeply flavored one-skillet meal featuring sweet, nutty cabbage and browned sausage, perfect for weeknights or meal prep.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound sausage (pork, turkey, or kielbasa)
- 1 medium head cabbage, thinly sliced
- 2–3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil (if needed for cooking)
- Chopped parsley or chives for garnish
Instructions
- Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat and brown the sliced sausage until fully cooked and crusty, around 8-10 minutes. Remove and reserve the fat.
- Add the sliced cabbage to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook over medium to medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage has golden edges, about 12-20 minutes.
- Deglaze the pan with apple cider vinegar or broth, then return the sausage to the pan and finish cooking until the cabbage is tender and slightly sweet.
- Serve garnished with parsley or chives and a drizzle of olive oil.
Notes
Use a heavy skillet for even cooking. Avoid overcrowding the pan when browning sausage.
