21 Day Fix Approved Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls

In honor of St. Patricks Day I am going to share my Unstuffed Cabbage Roll Recipe. 
I love cabbage rolls, but honestly have never made them. Soaking cabbage and rolling them...that just seems like a A LOT of work. I don't have time to make meals like that! Who Does?  
I need meals that are FAST, EASY and DELICIOUS!! I won't sacrifice flavor in order to eat healthy! I made this recipe in the crock pot, but you can make it over the stove too and its just as easy! I served it over mashed cauliflower. Whole grain noodles or mashed potatoes would work GREAT too! 

Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls

Serves 8 

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds turkey sausage
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small cabbage, chopped
  • 2 cans diced tomatoes  (no sodium fire roasted or Italian style are best I think)
  • 2 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce (no sodium)
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Himalayan salt

Directions:

  1. In a stock pot, heat oil over medium high heat. Saute onion and garlic for about 5 minutes. Remove turkey sausage from casings and add to pan, stirring frequently, until there is no pink.
  2. If cooking on the stove top ddd cabbage, tomatoes, tomato sauce, pepper, and salt and cook over medium heat for 30-45 minutes until everything is tender.
  3. If cooking in a crock pot add all ingredients to crock pot and cook on low for 6 hours.
