Ingredients

  • 1 small head of cabbage chopped
  • 2 lbs of ground turkey 85/15 or ground beef
  • 2 14.5 ounce cans diced tomatoes (not drained)
  • 1 8 ounce can of tomato sauce
  • 2 teaspoons of minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon of black pepper

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, brown ground turkey with minced garlic.
  • Add remaining ingredients and combine well.
  • Let simmer for 25-30 minutes or until cabbage is is tender.

Notes

I didn't need to drain the turkey. If you do drain the turkey you may need to add about a 1/2 cup of water to the mixture for some liquid. If you make this with ground beef you will need to drain the grease and the 1/2 cup of water will be needed.
For a time saver you can use a bag of coleslaw. 
You can add 1/2 cup of chopped onion to the beef mixture if you like onions. You can serve this over rice if you like.
