Dirty Cabbage with Smoked Turkey Sausages

A comforting, one-pot meal with tender cabbage, smoky sausage, and hearty ground beef, flavored with Cajun seasoning.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium head of green cabbage, cleaned and cut into large triangular pieces
  • 1 lb smoked turkey sausage, sliced into rounds
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  1. Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground beef and brown it, breaking it up as it cooks. Once fully browned, drain any excess fat.
  2. Return the pot to medium heat and add the sliced smoked turkey sausage, chopped onion, and chopped bell peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and sausage is warmed through.
  3. Stir in the Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and paprika until the meat and vegetables are evenly coated.
  4. Add the cabbage pieces to the pot and mix everything well so the cabbage is combined with the meats and spices.
  5. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and has absorbed the flavors.
  6. Serve hot straight from the pot.

Notes

Use a wide, heavy pot for even cooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
