Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Sharp Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Measuring spoons
  • Wooden spoon or spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup oil separated
  • 1 smoked turkey sausage link
  • 1/4 of a bell pepper sliced
  • 1/4 onion sliced
  • 1 head of cabbage
  • 2 tsp seasoned salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Start by preparing all your ingredients.
  • Slice the smoked turkey sausage, bell pepper, and onion.
  • The vegetables should be sliced thinly so they cook evenly and blend well with the cabbage.
  • Next, cut the cabbage into quarters, remove the core, and slice it into thin strips.
  • Rinse the cabbage thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris.
  • In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
  • Once the butter has melted, add the sliced bell peppers, onions, and smoked turkey sausage.
  • Sauté the mixture for 4-6 minutes until the onions and peppers are softened, and the sausage begins to brown slightly.
  • Add the sliced cabbage to the skillet, stirring well to coat it in the butter, oil, and rendered sausage fat.
  • Season with the seasoned salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and salt.
  • Continue tossing the cabbage in the pan for about 3-4 minutes to allow it to soak up the flavors.
  • Pour in 1 cup of chicken stock, reserving the rest in case you need it later.
  • Increase the heat to high to bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring every 4-5 minutes. The cabbage should be tender but still slightly crisp when done.
  • If you prefer a softer texture, you can cook it a bit longer, adding more chicken stock if necessary.
  • Once the cabbage reaches your desired texture, remove the lid and allow any excess liquid to evaporate over medium heat.
