Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef or turkey
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream (optional, for richness)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the ground meat to the skillet. Cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Stir in the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juice), beef broth, tomato paste, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  6. Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the meat mixture.
  7. Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender.
  8. If using, stir in the heavy cream during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  9. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving.

Notes

  • For a tangier flavor, add 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar when you add the broth.
  • If you prefer a richer meat flavor, use half ground beef and half ground pork.
  • This dish freezes well for easy meal prepping.
