A delightful one-pan dish combining seasoned meat and tender cabbage in a tangy tomato sauce.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef and turkey.
Break the meat into small pieces as it cooks for even browning.
Add the chopped onion, diced celery, and chopped green pepper to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are softened.
Stir frequently to prevent the vegetables from sticking to the skillet.
Sprinkle the meat mixture with rolled oats, dried parsley, salt, and garlic powder. Stir to combine.
Ensure the oats are evenly distributed for a consistent texture.
Core the cabbage and cut it into small wedges. Place the wedges on top of the meat mixture in the skillet.
Arrange the cabbage evenly to ensure it cooks uniformly.
In a bowl, mix together the tomato sauce, cider vinegar, black pepper, and brown sugar. Pour this sauce over the cabbage and meat.
Mix the sauce thoroughly to blend the flavors before pouring.
Cover the skillet and let the dish simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender.
Check occasionally to ensure the sauce doesn't dry out; add a splash of water if needed.
Serve the dish hot, optionally garnished with fresh parsley.
Pair with a side of crusty bread or rice for a complete meal.
