TURKEY CABBAGE BAKE



Turkey Cabbage Bake image

"I revised this old recipe by using ground turkey instead of ground beef (to make it healthier), by finely chopping the cabbage to improve texture and by adding thyme," explains Irene Gutz of Fort Dodge, Iowa. "Crescent rolls help it go together quickly, and it's often requested."

SPICY STIR-FRIED CABBAGE



Spicy Stir-Fried Cabbage image

This is a vegetarian version of a classic Chinese stir-fry. The authentic versions I've encountered include some pork or bacon, but the chilies, ginger, garlic, star anise and the cabbage are flavorful enough without meat. I've added carrots for color.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, weekday, one pot, main course

Time 10m

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons minced ginger
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 star anise, broken in half
2 teaspoons soy sauce (more to taste)
2 tablespoons Shao Hsing rice wine or dry sherry
2 tablespoons peanut or canola oil
1 small cabbage, 1 to 1 1/2 pounds, quartered, cored and cut crosswise into 1/8-inch shreds
1 medium carrot, cut into julienne
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons minced chives, Chinese chives or cilantro

Steps:

  • Combine the garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes and star anise in a small bowl. Combine the soy sauce and wine or sherry in another small bowl.
  • Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or a 12-inch skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Swirl in the oil by adding it to the sides of the pan and tilting it back and forth. Add the garlic, ginger, pepper flakes and star anise. Stir-fry for a few seconds, just until fragrant, then add the cabbage and carrots. Stir-fry for one to two minutes until the cabbage begins to wilt, then add the salt and wine/soy sauce mixture.

The cabbage should be crisp-tender. Serve with rice or noodles.

Tips:

  • For a crispy and flavorful fried cabbage, use a large skillet or wok and cook the cabbage in batches if necessary. Don't overcrowd the pan, or the cabbage will steam instead of fry.
  • To get evenly cooked cabbage, stir-fry it constantly, or use a large spatula to flip it over frequently.
  • If you want a slightly sweeter cabbage, add a pinch of sugar or a drizzle of honey while cooking.
  • To add a spicy kick, sprinkle in some red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper.
  • Feel free to experiment with different seasonings and vegetables. For example, you could add garlic, ginger, onions, bell peppers, or carrots to the stir-fry.
  • Conclusion:

    Fried cabbage with turkey is a quick and easy dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover turkey after Thanksgiving or Christmas. The cabbage is crispy and flavorful, and the turkey adds a savory richness. Serve it with rice, noodles, or your favorite side dish for a complete meal.
