Southern Fried Cabbage with Kielbasa , is a quick and easy one skillet meal for a busy weeknight supper. Delicious, satisfying, and inexpensive, who could ask for more?

Cabbage is low carb and has healthy nutrients and fiber. It can be fried in different fats all the way from rich bacon fat to healthy avocado oil which is what I cooked it in this time. Although, I really like to cook cabbage in bacon fat we are trying to eat healthy these days so for this recipe I started the dish by cooking some thickly sliced turkey kielbasa chunks.
