Instructions
Cut cabbage into quarters and then cut each quarter into strips. Set aside.
In a large pot or deep skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
Add in onions and cook until semi-translucent.
Add in garlic and cook until fragrant.
Slowly pour in chicken broth.
Add in the smoked turkey. (You can add it in whole but I like to chop it up a bit so that all the meat is simmering with the broth)
Bring to a simmer and cover.
Simmer for about 5-10 minutes.
Add cabbage and toss.
Cover and continue simmering (do not boil) until your desired firmness is reached, tossing cabbage mid-way.
When cabbage is done removed the turkey and chop it up into small bits.
Return smoked turkey to pot.
Taste cabbage and season with smoked salt and black pepper.
