A healthy, low-carb one-pan meal of tender cabbage and seasoned ground turkey cooked on the stovetop, ready in 30 minutes. Perfect for quick weeknight dinners or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 medium cabbage, sliced (core discarded)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or preferred cooking oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp oregano

Instructions

  1. Heat a nonstick skillet over high heat.
  2. Add ground turkey and cook while breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and no pink remains; reduce heat to medium-high during cooking to prevent burning.
  3. While turkey cooks, thinly slice the cabbage and discard the core.
  4. Remove cooked turkey from pan and set aside.
  5. Add olive oil to the pan, then add cabbage slices and cook over medium-high heat, stirring every minute, until cabbage softens and gets light golden color, about 15 minutes; reduce heat to medium if browning too fast.
  6. Return cooked turkey to the pan with cabbage and stir to combine.
  7. Sprinkle salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and oregano over mixture; stir until seasonings are evenly distributed, about 30 seconds.
  8. Reduce heat to low and let pan sit a few minutes to allow flavors to blend; taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
  9. Serve hot.
