Ingredients
- 1 large head of green cabbage
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 cup cooked rice (or quinoa for a gluten free option)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cabbage: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Carefully remove the core from the cabbage and place it in the boiling water for about 2-3 minutes, or until the leaves are pliable. Remove and let cool.
- Make the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, cooked rice, onion, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
- Assemble the Rolls: Take a cabbage leaf, place a generous spoonful of the filling at the base, and roll tightly, tucking in the sides as you go. Repeat until all the filling is used.
- Cook the Rolls: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Place the rolls seam-side down and brown for about 2-3 minutes. Pour the tomato sauce over the top, cover, and simmer for 30-40 minutes until heated through.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm with additional sauce on the side.
