Ingredients
  • 1 head green cabbage, frozen
  • 1 cup cooked white rice
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 pound Italian sausage
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
  • 1 cup red onion, diced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 14 oz. crushed tomatoes
  • 8 oz. tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
Preparation
  1. Place a head of cabbage in the freezer and completely freeze for 24 hours.
  2. Remove frozen cabbage from the freezer and let thaw for 2 hours or until the leaves start to peel off easily. You may only be able to peel a few leaves at a time as the center will still be very frozen.
  3. Preheat the oven to 350ºF for 1 hour and prepare a 9x13 casserole dish.
  4. Start with the sauce, by sautéing the red onion and freshly minced garlic with olive oil over medium-high heat for 6 - 8 minutes.
  5. Add canned tomatoes, sugar, cumin, cinnamon, and chicken stock then bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool.
  6. In a bowl, combine the cooked rice, ground turkey, Italian sausage, egg, and breadcrumbs. Thoroughly mix together.
  7. Assemble your cabbage rolls placing on cabbage leaf flat on the surface. Use a medium ice cream-scoop to portion meat filling into the widest part of the cabbage leaf. Fold the sides of the leaf in and use it to spread the meat filling evenly, then roll up your roll. Repeat with remaining.
  8. Pour half the sauce in the bottom of the prepared 9x13 and layer in the cabbage rolls. Pour the remaining sauce over the top and bake in the oven for 45 - 50 minutes or until the meat is tender.
