Cabbage and Kielbasa

This dish was so comforting, and ridiculously easy. Our Eastern European roots sighed in happiness.
Chose your favorite sausages (I used TJ's turkey kielbasa), cut into 1/2" dice and brown in pan. Remove and add chopped onions and cabbage sliced into ribbons. Sauté until cabbage is wilted, return sausage to pan, sprinkle liberally with S&P and serve over bowtie pasta or egg noodles or with pan roasted potatoes.
