Directions


Method:

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Seperate

10 large cabbage leaves from the head and place

in boiling water. Boil until soft (3-5 min).

Remove from water and set aside.



In a medium saucepan, add strained tomatoes, brown

sugar,white vinegar, worcestershire sauce and lemon juice.

Stir together and heat until sauce is warmed.



In a large skillet, heat olive oil and red pepper flakes

together.



Add onion, salt and pepper. Saute until onions are soft

(about 10 minutes). Add Cookin' Greens spinach and saute

until spinach is thawed. Add cooked turkey and tomato

and blend together. Add half a cup of the prepared tomato

sauce (optional).



Preheat oven to 350 degrees C.



Take approximately 1/2 cup of the turkey mixture and roll

it into the cooked caggabe leaves, folding ends in to

create a enclosed roll. Use a toothpick to hold it together

if necessary.



Put a layer of the tomato sauce on the bottom of a large

glass baking dish. Place rolls in dish (toothpick side down)

and coat with remaining tomato sauce.



Tips:

Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.



Preparing Cabbage: If it's too difficult to seperate the

cabbage leaves without ripping them, it’s highly

recommended to cut out as much of the core of the

cabbage as possible and boil the whole head. Remove

the leaves as they cook (they will seperate easily).

It takes a bit more time to boil a whole head of cabbage

but really eases the separating of the leaves.



Meat: The ground turkey can be replaced with ground

chicken or beef depending on your preference.
