- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage slices and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned.

Notes
Avoid overcooking the cabbage to prevent it from getting mushy. For a lighter version, use turkey or chicken sausage. Add bell peppers or carrots for extra nutrition. A squeeze of lemon juice at the end brightens the flavors beautifully.
