OMG It's SO GOOD!!! It's after Thanksgiving. I crammed two carcasses into my big crock pot, picked out the bones and gook and have a big bowl of stock, another of shredded turkey. I'm trying to use stuff up in the fridge but really don't want a pot of turkey soup so I used this recipe as an outline and I subbed out a few things. 1. The rice I made with turkey stock instead of water. 2. Shredded turkey instead of ground. 3. I had 2 nearly full 16 oz containers, 1 of fresh hot salsa, the other bruschetta. They sell these in the produce section. Top Crop is the name and I love their fresh regular salsa but they had been out. I left out all the diced tomato and onion and layered these in instead! 4. I had about 16 oz of vegetable juice (like V8) no one was drinking so used that instead of 2/3 of the sauce with one 8 oz can of tomato sauce. This came out so good! Some heat from the salsa but yet the sweet of the brown sugar shines through! My honey ate 2 giant bowls and I ate one and I would've ate more if I could! Definitely will be keeping this as the go-to after Thanksgiving treat and will make it anytime I can! Might have chicken, might have sausage! Be adventurous!

Delicious, I’ve tried so many other lazy cabbage roll recipes and this one is my new favourite! Thank you for sharing

I made it based on the recipe. Way too much rice. Not enough cabbage & not enough ground turkey & on the sweet side. I'll make it again however I'd tweak everything stated above.

Made it for the second time in a month due to my family requesting it again. I did use ground sausage instead of turkey, and added more vegetables on top on the onion layer (mushrooms and celery). The recipe does not specify, but make sure you cook the rice prior to putting it in the crockpot. This will be in the regular rotation at my house, especially in the fall and winter!

This recipe was really good. My family loved it. I added two cans of stewed tomatoes instead of the diced tomatoes, brown sugar and tomato sauce because I love the flavor. Didn't have the dry mustard so I just added some regular mustard to the pot. It is such a good meal! This is a keeper. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
