Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • Enough potatoes to cover the bottom of the crock. I used the small ones it was about 600g worth.
  • 1 20 oz package of raw italian turkey sausage preferably still frozen easier to cut - we used sweet
  • 1 large head of cabbage cut into about 6 wedges with core removed
  • Kosher Salt
  • ¼ cup of water

Instructions
 

  • Layer everything in the slow cooker. Start with the onion and potatoes. If you have larger potoatoes, cut them in halves or quarters.

  • Top with the cut sausage. I pull my sausage right out of the fridge and pop in the microwave for 1 minute to soften them just enough for cutting. Makes my life a whole bunch easier. Put the frozen cut sausage in the pot...

  • Top wedges of cabbage. Apparently I salted too much but I still think a bit of kosher salt is needed. Maybe even some fresh ground pepper.

  • Pour ¼ cup of water over everything (or broth) just to get the steam started. This isn't really a stew (although you could turn it into one) more of just a simple way to have dinner ready on a busy day.

  • My family isn't into stews as much as I am. If it were up to me I would have cut the cabbage in cubes and added a can of broth and diced tomatoes for a more soupy/stewy dinner. Either way, it works.
  • I cooked mine on low for 7 hours. The potatoes were soft and creamy, the sausage cooked through and the cabbage was done without being mushy. If you like a softer cabbage simply cut your wedges in half. Smaller the cabbage pieced the faster it will cook.
