→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1 small head of cabbage (cut into thick slices)
02 -
1 ½ lbs ground beef (or ground turkey)
03 -
1 small onion (finely chopped)
04 -
2 cloves garlic (minced)
05 -
1 tsp salt
06 -
½ tsp black pepper
07 -
1 tsp smoked paprika
08 -
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
09 -
½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
10 -
2 tbsp olive oil
11 -
1 egg (optional, for binding)
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 -
Slice the cabbage into thick rounds, about ½-inch thick. Brush both sides with olive oil and place on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
03 -
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce, and egg (if using). Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
04 -
Take a handful of the meat mixture and press it onto each cabbage slice, shaping it into a patty that covers most of the cabbage slice while leaving a small border visible.
05 -
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through (internal temperature of 160°F/71°C).
06 -
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle shredded cheese on top of each burger. Switch the oven to broil setting.
07 -
Return the baking sheet to the oven and broil for 3-5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and slightly golden. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
08 -
Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Offer sour cream, mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
# Notes:
01 -
Using lean ground beef (90/10 or 93/7) will prevent excess grease from accumulating during baking.
02 -
For extra flavor, add chopped bacon or sautéed mushrooms to the meat mixture.
03 -
These cabbage burgers are low-carb and keto-friendly, perfect for anyone watching their carbohydrate intake.
