Savory Sizzle Cabbage Skillet (Printable Version)
# What You’ll Need:
01 -
1 medium green cabbage head (about 2 lbs), cored and thinly sliced
02 -
6 slices turkey bacon, chopped
03 -
1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
04 -
4 garlic cloves, minced
05 -
2 tablespoons olive oil (if needed)
06 -
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
07 -
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
08 -
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
09 -
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Slice, core, and rinse the cabbage; set aside.
02 -
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook chopped turkey bacon until crisp and browned (5–7 minutes). Remove with a slotted spoon, leaving rendered drippings.
03 -
If bacon drippings seem scant, drizzle in olive oil; then add sliced onion. Cook until translucent and starting to caramelize, about 5 minutes.
04 -
Stir in minced garlic, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
05 -
Add sliced cabbage to the skillet. Stir well to coat with onion-garlic mixture; season with salt and pepper. Continue sautéing, stirring occasionally, for 10–12 minutes until cabbage wilts and edges begin to brown. Adjust seasoning as needed.
06 -
Stir bacon back into the pan and heat through for a minute. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
