Keto Cabbage Rolls with Ground Turkey

Ingredients

• 1 head Green cabbage, large
• 1 lb Ground turkey
• 1 cup Cauliflower rice
• 1 medium Onion, chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 6 oz Tomato paste
• 1 cup Tomato sauce
• 0.5 cup Beef broth
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper

Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. 2Carefully remove the tough core from the 1 head Green cabbage. Place the whole 1 head Green cabbage in a large pot and cover it completely with water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the outer leaves are soft and pliable when gently pressed. Carefully remove the cabbage from the pot and let it cool on a cutting board for 10 minutes, or until it is cool enough to handle. Gently peel off 8-12 softened leaves, one by one, being careful not to tear them.
3. 3In a large mixing bowl, combine the 1 lb Ground turkey, 1 cup Cauliflower rice, 1 medium Onion (chopped into 1/4-inch pieces), 2 cloves Garlic (minced), 0.5 tsp Salt, 0.25 tsp Black pepper, and 2 tbsp Olive oil. Use your hands or a sturdy spoon to mix these ingredients thoroughly until they are evenly combined.
4. 4Lay one prepared cabbage leaf flat on a clean surface. Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the ground turkey mixture near the thicker stem end of the leaf. Fold the sides of the leaf inward over the filling, then tightly roll the leaf up from the stem end to create a neat, compact package. Repeat this process with the remaining cabbage leaves and filling until all the mixture is used.
5. 5In a 9x13 inch baking dish, whisk together the 6 oz Tomato paste, 1 cup Tomato sauce, and 0.5 cup Beef broth until the mixture is smooth. Stir in the 1 tsp Paprika until it is fully incorporated into the sauce.
6. 6Carefully arrange the assembled cabbage rolls in a single layer in the baking dish, placing them seam-side down on top of the sauce mixture. This will help prevent them from unrolling during baking.
7. 7Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. Place the covered dish into the preheated 350°F (175°C) oven and bake for 60 minutes. The cabbage leaves should be very tender, and the ground turkey filling should be cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
