Equipment

• 1 dutch oven

Ingredients

  

• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1 large onion chopped
• 2 cups chopped cabbage
• 1 14 ounce can diced tomatoes with roasted garlic (Hunt’s), undrained
• 1 to 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup jasmine rice
• 1 1/4 cups beef broth
• Killer Hogs AP Seasoning or just salt and pepper

Instructions

 

• Cook the rice. Rinse the jasmine rice until the water runs mostly clear. Add it to a rice cooker with the beef broth and start the cooker. Let it sit covered for 10 minutes after it finishes, then fluff.
• Brown the sausage. Cook the turkey sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it into crumbles, until browned and cooked through.
• Sauté the onion. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Add the cabbage and tomatoes. Stir in the cabbage, the diced tomatoes with their juice, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
• Simmer. Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
• Serve. Spoon the skillet mixture over the jasmine rice.

Notes

This is a tasty and fast recipe I asked Claude to help me concoct and prepare. I had purchased a head of cabbage to cook cabbage rolls, but I wanted to eat sooner and cabbage rolls are a bit labor and time intensive.

A few notes and suggestions:

• If the skillet looks dry while simmering, add a splash of beef broth.
• For a tangier, more traditional cabbage roll flavor, finish with a splash of vinegar and a pinch of sugar.
• Canned kidney or white beans, stirred in during the last 5 minutes, add extra protein and fiber.
