Broccoli, Cabbage and Turkey Skillet
This is an easy, quick and inexpensive meal that’s perfect for batch cooking. I always keep cabbage on hand because it’s so versatile and it stays fresh for a long time. You can buy coleslaw mix or just slice up a head of cabbage and save the leftover to throw in soups, stir fries, or make a salad with. Cabbage also packs a nutritional punch as it’s is also loaded with fiber, vitamins c & k, and cancer fighting antioxidants. I prefer to use dark meat turkey for this dish for extra flavor, but white turkey meat, ground chicken, or ground grass-fed beef would work fine too.
