Ingredients

  • 1 head green cabbage
  • 1 lb lean ground turkey
  • 1 ½ cups cooked white rice
  • ½ cup onion finely chopped
  • ½ cup carrot shredded
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • ¼ cup seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1 can tomato soup
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon fresh ground pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Cook the rice (I use my rice cooker prepared as per cooker instructions)
  • Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil.
  • Cut the core out of the cabbage head.
  • Place the cabbage into boiling water and cook for 3-5 minutes. Remove from the water and gently separate the cabbage leaves. Set aside while you prepare the filling.
  • In a large skillet heat the olive oil. Add the onions, garlic, and carrots; sauté until onions are translucent.
  • In a large bowl combine the ground turkey, sautéed onions, garlic, carrots, cooked rice, bread crumbs, egg, salt, pepper, and two tablespoons of the tomato soup.
  • Blend until combined but don't overwork the mixture.
  • Grease a 2 quart baking pan or casserole dish.
  • Place 2 layers of the cooked cabbage leaves into baking pan.
  • Top with the turkey mixture and spread evenly.
  • Cover with 2 layers of cabbage leaves.
  • Pour the remaining tomato soup over the cabbage.
  • Cover and bake 350º F for 1 hour 15 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 15 minutes to allow the top to brown.
