Ingredients

  • 1 large head green cabbage, bottom trimmed
  • 2 cups white rice, cooked
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 cup onion, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • ½ lb lean ground turkey
  • ½ tsp dried dill
  • ½ tsp parsley flakes
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp salt
  • Freshly crushed black pepper to taste
  • 14 oz can diced tomatoes, with juice
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cups cups tomato sauce, divided
  • 10.75 oz can condensed tomato soup

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and boil the whole cabbage head for about 2 minutes. Remove the softened outer leaves and place the cabbage into the boiling water again until the remaining leaves are soft. Remove all leaves and set them aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 F
  • Make the filling: heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and saute the onion and garlic until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the ground beef and turkey, and cook until no pink is left in the meat. Season with salt, pepper, dill, parsley, and oregano.
  • Mix in the cooked rice, diced tomatoes with juice, ⅓ cup of tomato sauce, and egg.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, mix the remaining tomato sauce with the condensed tomato soup.
  • With the help of a sharp knife, remove the thick part of the stems on the cabbage leaves and lay them flat on your work surface. Add ⅓ cup of filling to the center of each leaf, fold in the sides, and roll up.
  • Add a thin layer of tomato sauce to the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish and place the rolls seam side down.
  • Pour the remaining sauce over the rolls, cover with foil, and bake for 90 minutes.
