Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground turkey (lean)
• 1 medium head Green cabbage
• 1 small (diced) Onion
• 3 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 14.5 ounces (1 can) Diced tomatoes (no-salt-added)
• 8 ounces (1 can) Tomato sauce
• 1 cup Chicken broth (low-sodium)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese (reduced-fat)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice the cabbage into thin strips, discarding the core, and set aside.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, cooking until softened, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Cook and crumble until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and chicken broth. Season with paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 6

Spread half of the sliced cabbage evenly across the bottom of a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Layer half of the turkey mixture over the cabbage.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining cabbage and turkey mixture, creating two layers.

Step 8

Cover the casserole dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the foil, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top, and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese melts and turns slightly golden.

Step 10

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy your healthy Turkey Cabbage Casserole!
