• 1 head green cabbage, roughly chopped

• 1 pack smoked turkey (wings, necks, or tails)

• 1 onion, diced

• 1–2 bell peppers, chopped

• 2 tablespoons oil or butter

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1/2 teaspoon paprika or seasoning blend

• Salt and pepper to taste

🥄 Marinade Tip:

Want rich flavor in every bite? Toss chopped cabbage, peppers, and onions in seasoning and a drizzle of oil. Seal it in a Ziploc and let sit in the fridge for a few hours or overnight before cooking.

🔥 Instructions:

1. Simmer smoked turkey in chicken broth for 25–30 minutes until tender. This will infuse the broth with flavor.

2. Remove bones if you’d like and shred the turkey meat in the broth.

3. Add your marinated cabbage mix (or freshly prepped cabbage, onion, and peppers) into the pot.

4. Drizzle in oil or add butter, stir gently, and season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

5. Cover and simmer for 25–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cabbage is tender and flavorful.

6. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot with cornbread or brown rice.
