Step 1

Add your ground beef (or turkey) to a skillet on the stovetop. Use your spatula to crumble the beef. Cook on medium high, stirring occasionally, until beef is almost completely browned. Then add the minced garlic. Stir. Sauté for another minute or until garlic is golden in color and beef is cooked through. If your beef isn’t very lean you may want to drain the grease. Remove beef and garlic from skillet and set aside.

Step 2

Add oil to skillet. Add shredded cabbage and let cook, stirring occasionally, until cabbage is close to tender, about 10 minutes. You should see browning on some of the cabbage.

Step 3

Reduce heat to medium. Add cooked beef and canned crushed tomatoes back to skillet and stir until combined with cabbage. Season with salt, pepper, oregano, paprika, onion powder, and crushed red pepper flakes. Simmer for 5 to 8 minutes or until everything is warmed and cabbage is tender. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired. (I like to add a little more salt and paprika for bigger flavor.)
