This was a great change of pace for traditional cabbage rolls! I loved it! The next time I'm gonna use ground beef and hot hungarian papricka instead of the turkey/Old Bay that were so good. But I'm a Polish guy, what do you expect! I also used a large head of cabbage and 1/3 cup of long grain rice. Everyone should try this at least once!
