Heat cooking oil in very large skillet. Add onion and sauté
lightly. Add ground beef or turkey and brown, stirring to keep meat loose and fine.
Gradually add grated cabbage, stirring until all cabbage is well cooked.
Add seasonings, adjusting to taste. Remove from heat.
Stir in sour cream. Spoon into rectangular baking dish (13x9) and spread evenly over bottom.
Keep hot in oven.
Mash potatoes with milk and margarine until desired consistency.
Layer mashed potatoes over cabbage mixture.
Garnish with chopped parsley or chives and serve.
Sometimes I simply leave the meat / cabbage mixture in the
skillet and spoon the mashed potatoes on top to serve.
There is one less dish to wash that way. This also works
well for a potluck. Simply spoon the meat / cabbage
mixture into the bottom of a 5-quart crock pot and spoon the
mashed potatoes on top. It can then be kept warm until you
are ready to eat it.
