Instructions

1
Shred two heads of cabbage into ribbons. In a separate pan, cook the cabbage until tender-crisp. Set aside.
2
In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add the sliced chicken andouille sausage and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
3
Using a slotted spoon, remove the cooked sausage from the pot and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.
4
Add the ground turkey to the pot. Cook until fully browned, breaking it up with a spoon.
5
Add the diced green bell pepper, red bell pepper, onion, and minced garlic to the pot with the turkey.
6
Sauté the vegetables until they have softened, about 5-7 minutes.
7
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for one minute.
8
Season the mixture with onion powder, garlic powder, Creole seasoning, Italian seasoning, garlic and herb seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.
9
Pour in the can of diced tomatoes and the jars of tomato sauce. Stir everything together until well combined.
10
Return the cooked sausage to the pot and stir it into the sauce.
11
Add the cooked, shredded cabbage to the pot.
12
Mix everything together until the cabbage is fully incorporated into the sauce. Let it simmer for a few minutes for the flavors to meld.
13
Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Shred the cabbage finely (about 1/8 inch) so it cooks evenly and mimics spaghetti texture; thick cuts will remain woody.
Brown the ground turkey and sausage separately first to develop fond and ensure even cooking before adding aromatics.
Taste the sauce before adding cabbage—Cajun spice strength varies by brand; adjust garlic and onion powder incrementally.
Add cabbage in the final stage and don't overcook; 10–12 minutes yields tender strands with a slight bite.

Substitutions

Green cabbage → red cabbage (slightly sweeter, same cooking time)
Ground turkey → ground beef or chicken (maintains one-pot simplicity; beef may render more fat)
Andouille sausage → smoked sausage or chorizo (different regional flavor profile)

Storage & make-ahead

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with 2–3 tablespoons water to restore sauce consistency.
