For a richer flavor, brown the ground turkey with a tablespoon of butter before adding the onion. If you don't have fresh cabbage, you can use sauerkraut, rinsed and drained, as a substitute. Adjust the amount of brown sugar to your liking, depending on how sweet you prefer the sauce. This dish is even better the next day, as the flavors meld together beautifully.
