Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Cut a square into the bottom of your cabbage and then cut an X into it. Pull out the core and discard.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Place the cabbage core-side down into the water and cover. Boil for 6 minutes.
• While the cabbage is boiling, put a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the turkey and let it brown. Push the turkey over to the side and add the onions and garlic until they start to develop some color. Add the celery and carrots and the herbs. Saute for 3 minutes and then add half of the crushed tomatoes and a pinch of salt and pepper.
• When the cabbage is done boiling, use tongs to put the cabbage in a colander in the sink to cool. Using the tongs, peel off the outer leaves and place onto a plate. Once you start to notice the remaining inside leaves are still a bit raw, place the cabbage back into the boiling water for another 2 minutes. Put back in the colander to cool and remove the remaining leaves to add to your plate.
• In a glass or ceramic baking dish, pour a thin layer of crushed tomatoes on the bottom. Put a cabbage leaf on a large plate and cut out the thick stem. Fill the middle of the leaf with about 3/4 cup of filling. Fold in 3 sides and then roll like a burrito, tucking the end underneath. Place in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining leaves and filling.
• Once your casserole dish is full of cabbage rolls, pour the rest of the crushed tomatoes over them. Bake uncovered for about 30 minutes. Let cool and enjoy!

LOW CARB TURKEY CABBAGE ROLLS

Steps:

• 1. Put your cabbage in a large pot and boil the water until the cabbage leaves come off easily. I left mine quite a long time so it was soft down to the core.
• 2. Remove the core and remove all the leaves. Remove the outer part of the large rib from the outside of each leaf with a sharp knife. This will make the leaves easier to roll. Try not to cut through the leaf.
• 3. Prepare your chicken and apple sausage by putting it through the food processor until it resembles hamburger. Mix it with the ground turkey and then add the egg, onion and salt and pepper. Don't mix too long, this will make the meat tough. Spread about 1/4 of the jar of spaghetti sauce into the bottom of the dish you use to cook the rolls. Keep any left over cabbage to put on top of the sauce and under the rolls. I used a 9x13" rectangular ceramic dish. It was just right.
• 4. Lay one of the softened leaves on it's back (rib side down) and put a large spoonful of meat mixture at the end closest to you and then roll, fold the sides in and roll to the end to make a nice neat roll.
• 5. Place the rolls on top of the cabbage pieces in the casserole dish. Pour the rest of the spaghetti sauce on top of the rolls. Cover the rolls with a sheet of tin foil.
• 6. Bake at 35o'F for 45-50 minutes.
• 7. Enjoy!
