1.5 lbs Italian-style turkey sausage (or equivalent -- as long as it's spicy), skins removed
2 bunches green onions (remove root portion and top 1" of green stem; cut into 1/2" pieces)
1-2 turnips, peeled and cubed
1 medium-sized carrot, sliced
1 tsp celery seed
about 4 red potatoes, scrubbed and cubed
1-2 cups chicken broth (adjust to total serving size)
3 bay leaves
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
1/4-1/2 tsp. dried sage
some fresh-ground pepper
1 head green cabbage, cut into wedges
flour dissolved in cold water (for thickening)
1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
2 tsp red wine vinegar
In a large pot, sauté sausage, onions, turnips, carrots, and celery seed in olive oil until the sausage is lightly browned.
Stir in potatoes, broth, bay leaves, thyme, sage, and pepper. Bring to a boil; place cabbage on top; reduce heat; cover and simmer until potatoes and cabbage are tender (20-25 min).
With a slotted spoon, transfer cabbage to a large bowl.
Stir in dissolved flour (a little at a time) until desired consistency. Stir in vinegar and parsley; allow to simmer 2-3 minutes.
Ladle into deep bowls and spread cabbage on top.
Serve with crusty bread.
Or in a pumpkin!
I was terribly excited to receive a copy of this recipe from Mom in the famous Halloween Party in a Box of 2007. That was the first time I attempted it myself, and it came out great. How nice to get it all typed up and officially shared!
ReplyDeleteYaaay, thank you for posting! I tried reverse engineering this one, and didn't get it quite right. Can't wait to make it, a good, autumny meal. :)

Repeat layers. Add the remaining mozzarella.
Bake in the oven at 375 F degrees for 45 min. Let stand for 10 minutes.
• If the sauce is too thick, add more tomato sauce.
• When laying noodles, lay three longwise, then 3 crosswise. Cut off excess and use the three pieces to make fourth crosswise. The third layer is again three longwise. (9 noodles total)
