Cabbage Rolls

Slow cooker capable!

• Ready In: 2 hrs
• Serves: 6
• Yields: 12 cabbage rolls

Ingredients

• 12  cabbage leaves
• 1  cup cooked white rice (cook in beef broth for added flavor)
• 1  egg, beaten
• 1⁄4 cup milk
• 1⁄2 cup onion, minced
• 1⁄2 lb ground turkey
• 1 1⁄4 teaspoons salt
• 1  teaspoon pepper
• 1⁄4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
• 14 1⁄2 ounces diced tomatoes, with liquid
• 1  tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 1⁄2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1  tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1⁄2 lb ground pork

Directions

1. First, steam the entire head of cabbage in a pot of boiling water, making sure to cut off the core first. Let the cabbage head boil for about 6-8 minutes -- if you notice leaves separating from the head, you can gently peel away the softened leaves with a long fork. Drain the head of cabbage and peel the necessary amount of leaves when cool.
2. Grab a large bowl and combine the rice, egg, milk, onion, garlic powder, ground beef, ground pork, salt, and pepper. Scoop about a 1/4 cup of this mixture into the center of each cabbage leaf and roll them up, making sure to tuck in the ends.
3. If you’d like to slow cook them, place the rolls in the slow cooker. If you’d like to bake them, place them in a lightly greased 9x13 baking dish. If you are using the oven, preheat it to 350 degrees F.
4. In a separate bowl, mix together the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, brown sugar, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour the sauce over the cabbage rolls.
5. If using the slow cooker, cover and cook on low for 8 to 9 hours. If using the oven, cover with foil and bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees F.
6. Enjoy!
