Recipe

Slow-Cooked Stuffed Cabbage Leaves

(makes 6 servings)

12 to 14large green cabbage leaves
1 1/4pounds (480 g) ground turkey breast
1/4cup (60 ml) egg substitute
1small yellow onion, minced
1large clove garlic, minced
1large tart apple, such as Granny Smith, peeled, cored, and minced
1cup (158 g) cooked white rice
1tablespoon (8 g) dried dill weed
2tablespoons (16 g) chopped flat-leaf parsley
salt (optional)
freshly ground pepper to taste
cooking sauce
1tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
2medium yellow onions, halved and thinly sliced
128-ounce (840 g) can no-salt-added crushed tomatoes, including the juice
3tablespoons (45 ml) fresh lemon juice
1tablespoon (9 g) hot paprika
1teaspoon (5 ml) Worcestershire sauce

  1. Blanch cabbage leaves in boiling water for 3 minutes. Drain and refresh under running cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain again on paper towels and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine turkey breast, egg substitute, onion, garlic, apple, cooked rice, dill weed, parsley, salt (if using), and pepper. Mix well.
  3. Place the cabbage leaves on a work surface. Divide the filling equally between the cabbage leaves, putting about 1/4 cup (about 100 g) of the turkey-rice mixture at the bottom of each cabbage leaf and roll up, folding in the bottom and sides to enclose the filling. Set filled leaves aside.
  4. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic; sauté until onions are limp, about 4 minutes. Stir in remaining sauce ingredients and cook, uncovered, for another 5 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  5. Place half of the sauce in the bottom of a 4-quart (4 l) or larger crockery slow-cooker. Arrange filled cabbage leaves, seam side down, on top of the sauce, making as many layers as necessary. Spoon the remaining sauce over the cabbage rolls. Do not stir. Cover and cook on LOW for 7 to 9 hours, or on HIGH for 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 hours.
  6. To serve, transfer cabbage rolls to a large serving platter and top with sauce. Serve at once.
