Dirty Cabbage with Smoked Turkey Sausages

A comforting skillet meal featuring tender cabbage, smoky turkey sausage, and savory browned beef, perfect for easy weeknight dinners.

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 green and red bell peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and the sausage is warmed through.
  3. Stir in 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 the dirty cabbage hot straight from the pot.

Notes

Cut the cabbage into uniform pieces for even cooking and store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
