Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided

  • 6 cups red cabbage, chopped into thin slices
  • 3/4 cup feta cheese
  • 1 lb linguine

Instructions

  1. Heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Add the onions, cook on medium, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic, cook for another minute.
  2. Add the cabbage to the skillet along with the remaining tablespoon olive oil, and add a pinch of salt. Stir to combine the cabbage well with the onions. Cover and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until the cabbage has softened.

  5. When the linguine is cooked to your liking, drain thoroughly and then add back to the pot. Add the turkey and cabbage mixture to the linguine, and toss to combine. Stir in the feta cheese. Plate and enjoy!
