Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Lean ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium head Green cabbage, chopped
- 28 ounces Crushed tomatoes, canned
- 1.5 cups Low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 cups Cooked brown rice
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add the lean ground turkey and cook until browned, breaking it into crumbles with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion is soft and translucent.
Stir in the chopped cabbage, allowing it to soften slightly, about 5 minutes.
Pour in the canned crushed tomatoes and low-sodium chicken broth. Stir to combine.
Add the cooked brown rice, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. Simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and the flavors are well combined.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Add additional salt or pepper to preference.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your healthy and delicious Grand Slam Low Fat Unstuffed Cabbage!
