Braised Cabbage with Turkey Sausage
This recipe is so simple, yet so delicious. You’ll be happy to have leftovers of the braised cabbage for breakfast, to enjoy next to eggs, or for lunch, next to half a sandwich. The acidity from the cider vinegar perfectly balances the sweetness of the apples and cabbage. You can pair the cabbage with chicken, pork or fish as well.
