Low-Fat Stuffed Cabbage Recipe
Ingredients
8 medium or 16 small cabbage leaves
1 cup water
1/4 cup raisins
1/2 cup minced onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 pound lean ground turkey
2 teaspoons ground cumin
Grated rind of 2 lemons
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
2 large tomatoes, diced or cut into thin wedges
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley or basil
Instructions
Blanch the cabbage leaves in boiling water for 1 minute. Remove with a slotted
spoon. Lay the leaves flat on a tray and set them aside. In a 1-quart saucepan
over medium heat, bring the water and raisins to a boil. Set aside. In a large
non-stick frying pan over medium heat, combine the onions, garlic and 2
teaspoons of the water from the raisins.Ê Saute until the onions turn
translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the turkey. Saute, stirring constantly, until
the meat has lost its color and is well broken up.
Drain the raisins, discarding the water. Add to the turkey. Add the cumin and
lemon rind. Saute for 5 minutes. Stir in the pepper and thyme. Remove from the
heat and allow to cool.Ê Divide the filling among the cabbage leaves. Enclose
the filling by tucking in the side edges and rolling up the leaves. Coat a 9- x
13-inch baking dish with non stick spray. Add the rolls, seam side down. Bake at
350 degrees F. for 15 minutes.
Sprinkle the tomatoes with the parsley or basil. Serve with the cabbage.
