Ingredients
  

  • 1 large head of cabbage
  • 2 cups of cooked brown rice (I just used one of these
  • 1 lb 16oz extra lean ground turkey, raw
  • 6 cloves of garlic minced
  • ½ of a large sweet onion diced
  • 1 small zucchini diced
  • 1-2 cups baby spinach chopped
  • 2 stalks of celery diced
  • 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon dried parsley separated
  • 2 teaspoon dried basil separated
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 can of condensed tomato soup
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • Kosher Salt & Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cut the core out of the cabbage and cook for 5 minutes. This will help loosen the leaves. After 5 minutes run under cold water.
    1 large head of cabbage
  • Combine the brown rice, ground turkey, garlic, onion, zucchini, spinach, celery, 1 tablespoon parsley and 1 teaspoon basil until well mixed.
    2 cups of cooked brown rice (I just used one of these, 1 lb 16oz extra lean ground turkey, raw, 6 cloves of garlic minced, ½ of a large sweet onion diced, 1 small zucchini diced, 1-2 cups baby spinach chopped, 2 stalks of celery diced, 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon dried parsley separated, 2 teaspoon dried basil separated, 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Carefully separate a leaf from the cabbage head.
  • Place about ½ cup of the turkey/rice mixture in the middle.
  • Fold the sides in like a burrito.
  • Roll. Place in a deep baking dish.
  • Repeat until you run our of filling or cabbage leaves. You should get about 12. I actually ran out of leaves and used the rest of the filling in a pepper I had in the fridge. 🙂
    Kosher Salt & Pepper
  • Once the baking dish is filled with "piggies" mix the tomato soup, diced tomatoes, and the rest of the dried spices with a bit of water to thin it. Pour over the piggies, cover and bake for an hour in a preheated 350 degree oven. You may want to baste now and then to help keep everything moist.
    1 can of condensed tomato soup, 1 can diced tomatoes
  • Serve with the tomato soup mixture drizzled on top and sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper.
