Recipe Introduction

From member my3kids: Before I started this plan, I used to make Russian-style stuffed cabbage rolls that were just great - here's the recipe, with just a few modifications.

List of Ingredients

* 1-3 lb cabbage
* 2 large onions
* 1 lb ground turkey or chicken breast
* 1/2 cup long-grain white rice
* 1 egg white
* fresh-ground black pepper
* Liquid Smoke
* 1-14-oz. can of no-salt-added diced tomatoes
* 1/2 cup low-sodium beef broth
* fresh or dried dill


Recipe

Prepare 8 oz of long-grain white rice without salt or butter. Bring a large pot of water to boil and place in a 3-lb. cabbage head. Cover and cook for about 8 minutes. Take the head out but leave the water on at a boil. Carefully remove as many leaves as you can without tearing them. Put the cabbage head back into the pot and cook a little longer until you can take off about 20 large leaves. Trim out the tough center stalk and set aside.

Saute two chopped onions in a nonstick pan until they are soft and golden. Pour the onions into a large bowl and add 1 pound of ground turkey or chicken breast, the cooked rice, 1 egg white, freshly ground black pepper, and any other salt-free seasoning you might like (Suggestion: McCormick's It's A Dilly). Mix it up with your hands.

Lay 3-4 cabbage leaves out and place about 3 tbsp of filling on each. Roll up from the stalk end, turning in the sides, and finish at the leafy end so as to make a neat packet. You might have to hold it closed with a toothpick. Place the packets seam-side down in a shallow pan large enough to hold the rolls all in one layer. (At this point it calls for bacon; perhaps a few drops of liquid smoke** would do.). Preheat the oven to 350¡.

In a saucepan, heat together a 14-oz can of salt-free tomatoes with 1/2 cup low-sodium beef broth. Add 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill or about 2 tsp dried dill weed. Pour the sauce over the cabbage rolls and bake for 1 hour or until the rolls are slightly browned. Allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
