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)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Stir in the chopped cabbage, allowing it to soften slightly, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Pour in the canned crushed tomatoes and low-sodium chicken broth. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Add the cooked brown rice, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Add additional salt or pepper to preference.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving, if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your healthy and delicious Grand Slam Low Fat Unstuffed Cabbage!
