Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 small head Cabbage (cut into thick slices)
  • 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
  • 2 cloves Garlic (minced)

Meat & Protein

  • 1 pound Ground Beef or Turkey (or ground chicken or plant-based options)
  • 1 large Egg (optional, for binding)

Seasonings & Condiments

  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (for brushing)

Dairy

  • 1 cup Cheese (for sprinkling on top)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) ensuring it reaches the right temperature to cook the burgers evenly.
  2. Prepare Cabbage Slices: Slice a small head of cabbage into thick ½ inch slices. Brush both sides generously with olive oil to help them roast nicely and prevent sticking.
  3. Mix Meat Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef or turkey, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the spices. Add the egg if using to help bind the mixture.
  4. Form Patties: Shape the meat mixture into patties sized to fit on the cabbage slices. Place each patty onto a cabbage slice on a baking sheet.
  5. Bake Patties: Bake the cabbage burgers in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the meat is fully cooked through and the cabbage is tender.
  6. Add Cheese (Optional): If desired, sprinkle cheese evenly on top of the patties and switch the oven to broil. Broil for an additional 3 to 5 minutes until the cheese melts and turns slightly golden.
  7. Serve: Remove from oven and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh parsley if you like. Enjoy your healthy and flavorful cabbage burgers!

Notes

  • Use ground chicken or plant-based meat alternatives for a lighter or vegetarian version.
  • The egg is optional but helps bind the patties together.
  • Broiling the cheese is optional but adds a nice melted, golden finish.
  • Make sure cabbage slices are thick enough to hold the patties and avoid falling apart.
  • Serve with your favorite low-carb sides or a fresh salad.
