A delicious recipe that is a complete meal, low cal and low fat, too. I used extra lean ground turkey breast (because I've got to start watching fat and cals), and I added about a 1/2 tsp dried thyme and about a 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes to help compensate for the reduced fat flavor. I thought these additions worked very well. In my oven, it took about an hour to get the rice done. The cabbage was cooked just right at this point, too. Even DH, who is not a ground turkey fan, nor a cooked cabbage fan, gave it a 4 star and went for seconds (that translates to 5 star in my book!)

This was really good and works well for those of us following Weight Watchers. I will definately make it again. Thanks Barb!

Overall this was a pretty good recipe. Though, I don't know what kind of sorcery was used to get this to finish cooking in under 45 minutes. I tweaked the recipe a bit to my liking: Instead of a full head of cabbage, I used half. I also added garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning for flavor; just salt and pepper was a little plain for my liking. After 45 minutes my casserole still wasn't done. I turned the temperature up to 375 degrees and let it cook for an additional 45 minutes.

Absolutely delicious! I added some minced garlic while cooking the turkey, but as others have stated I just cooked for 45 minutes and rice is still hard. Should we have used minute rice? Other than that this recipe is fantastic! I used extra lean turkey as I watch fat, so for a practically fat free recipe I give 5 stars!
