Ingredients
Scale
- 1 head green cabbage
- 1 lb ground turkey (or plant-based alternative)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 large eggs
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Prepare the Cabbage: Remove the outer leaves from the cabbage. Slice into quarters and remove the core. Boil the leaves in salted water for about 5 minutes until tender yet firm.
- Cook Your Filling: In a large skillet over medium heat, add oil and sauté chopped onions until translucent. Add minced garlic and ground turkey, cooking until browned. Season with salt and pepper.
- Mix Everything Together: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked meat mixture with shredded mozzarella cheese and lightly beaten eggs. Stir until well incorporated.
- Assemble Your Bake: Lay out cabbage leaves on a clean surface. Spoon filling onto each leaf and roll them up like burritos. Place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
- Bake Away: Cover the dish with foil and bake for about 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
- Serve Hot: Enjoy straight from the oven or drizzle with your favorite sauce.
