How to Make Turkey Sausage With Cabbage And Barley

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, deep non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1 pound of turkey sausage and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
  3. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 small head of green cabbage (shredded), and 1 teaspoon of caraway seeds to the skillet.
  4. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage has wilted slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 cups of low-sodium chicken stock, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard.
  6. Pour the stock mixture into the skillet along with 1 cup of pearl barley.
  7. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  8. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low.
  9. Cover the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally and adding up to 1/2 cup of water if needed to prevent sticking, for 40-45 minutes, or until the barley is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
