Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 small head of cabbage (cut into thick slices)
  • 1 ½ lbs ground beef (or ground turkey)
  • 1 small onion (finely chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 egg (optional, for binding)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Prepare the cabbage: Slice the cabbage into thick rounds about ½ inch thick. Brush both sides generously with olive oil to help with roasting and flavor, then arrange them evenly on the lined baking sheet.
  3. Make the burger mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce, and the egg if you’re using it. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  4. Assemble the burgers: Take a handful of the meat mixture and firmly press it onto each cabbage slice, shaping it into patty form. Make sure the meat covers the cabbage evenly for even cooking.
  5. Bake the burgers: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes until the meat is mostly cooked through.
  6. Add cheese and broil: Remove the sheet from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over each burger. Switch your oven to broil and broil the burgers for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, watching closely, until the cheese has melted and turned slightly golden.
  7. Serve and enjoy: Garnish with fresh parsley or serve with your favorite sides such as sour cream, mustard, or dipping sauces. These cabbage burgers are best enjoyed warm and fresh.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner protein option.
  • Using the egg is optional but helps hold the patties together better.
  • Feel free to use your favorite cheese or a mix for varied flavors.
  • If you prefer spicier burgers, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the meat mixture.
  • Leftover burgers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best texture.
