Learn how to make delicious Oven-Baked Cabbage Burgers. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Gather these simple ingredients to create a meal that’s both hearty and wholesome:

  • 1 medium head of cabbage, chopped
  • 1 pound ground turkey or beef (or substitute with lentils for a vegetarian option)
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for drizzling
  • Your choice of burger buns
  • Optional toppings: cheese slices, lettuce, tomato, pickles

Feel free to swap the ground meat with your preferred protein or add spices that suit your taste. This recipe is all about flexibility and making it your own, just like how I learned to cook from my abuela.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped cabbage and onion, cooking until softened, about 8-10 minutes. Stir in the garlic, cooking for another minute.
  3. Transfer the cooked cabbage mixture to a large bowl. Add the ground turkey or beef, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
  4. Shape the mixture into burger patties, placing them on the prepared baking sheet. I like to make them slightly larger than the buns to get that satisfying bite.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the patties are cooked through and golden brown on top. Be sure to check halfway and flip them for even cooking.
  6. While the patties are baking, you can prep your burger toppings. If cheese is your thing, pop a slice on each patty during the last few minutes of baking for a melty finish.
  7. Once done, assemble your burgers with your choice of bun and toppings. Enjoy the delicious aroma wafting through your kitchen!

I still remember the first time I recreated a recipe from my travels — it was like bringing a piece of my journey into my home. These burgers can do the same, offering a taste of comfort and exploration all at once.
