Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • slotted spoon
  • knife

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup oil separated
  • 1 smoked turkey sausage link
  • ¼ of a bell pepper sliced
  • ¼ onion sliced
  • 1 head of cabbage
  • 2 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ tseaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1-1 ½ cups chicken stock

Instructions

  • In a large pan heat butter and 2 tablespoon olive oil.
  • Sauté sliced peppers, onions, and sliced sausage over medium heat until the peppers and onions are softened, about 4-6 minutes.
  • Cut cabbage in half, cut out the root (center)
  • Cut the halves, in half and then slice the cabbage.
  • Give it a good rinse and add to the pan.
  • Add in the seasoning and toss the cabbage with the sautéed pepper and onions and smoked sausage.
  • Once the cabbage is nicely coated, continue to toss for about 3-4 minutess. Add in 1 cup chicken stock, reserving the rest in case it's needed later.
  • Bring to a boil over high heat
  • Reduce heat and cover for 10-12 minutess, stirring every 4-5 minutess
  • The cabbage should not be soggy and should still have some bite to it when you test it. If more stock is needed, add it during this phase
  • Serve hot. Enjoy

Notes

  • Be sure to remove the tough core of the cabbage before shredding it
  • The size of your cabbage will determine the amount of chicken stock you will need. So if it's a small cabbage, start with ¾ cup chicken stock, if it's a large cabbage then start with 1 cup and add more as needed. Be sure to remove the outer leaves of the cabbage when cleaning.
  • Bell peppers can be any color, we used tricolor peppers and sweet white onion, but any color peppers and any type of onion will work.
  • A medium head of cabbage weighs 1 ½ to 2 pounds
  • For best flavor, enjoy as soon as it is ready.
