Healthy stuffed cabbage rolls filled with lean ground turkey, brown rice, and fresh vegetables, simmered in a light tomato sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head green cabbage
  • 1 lb lean ground turkey
  • 1 cup cooked brown rice
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups tomato sauce
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Bring a large pot of water to boil. Carefully remove the core from the cabbage and boil the whole head for 5 minutes. Peel off 12 large leaves.
  3. In a bowl, mix ground turkey, cooked brown rice, onion, garlic, carrot, egg, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  4. Place 2-3 tbsp of the filling at the base of each cabbage leaf. Roll tightly, tucking in the sides.
  5. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear cabbage rolls for 2 minutes per side.
  6. Transfer rolls to a baking dish. Pour tomato sauce over them.
  7. Cover and bake for 45 minutes.

Notes

  • Use a sharp knife to core the cabbage.
  • Drain excess water from boiled cabbage leaves before rolling.
  • Substitute ground chicken for turkey if preferred.
