Unstuffed Cabbage Casserole

Unstuffed Cabbage Casserole

This is a recipe I featured in my latest C1 Challenge, and it was a great hit! This recipe is a healthier version of the traditional cabbage roll. It’s acceptable for all cycles of the 17 Day Diet and is super easy to make (much easier than the traditional recipe).

Unstuffed Cabbage Casserole

Ingredients

1 pound Ground Lean Turkey (or chicken)

2 Tablespoons Olive Oil

1 Small Onion, chopped

1 teaspoon Garlic Powder

1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder

1/2 teaspoon Dried Thyme

1/4 teaspoon Ground Pepper

1/2 teaspoon Salt

15 ounce Can Diced Tomatoes

1 Small Head Small Green Cabbage – chopped

½ Cup Water

1 Cup Low-fat Mozzarella Cheese

Salt/Pepper To Taste

1 Cup Riced Cauliflower, cooked

Directions

In large pot or pan, over medium high heat, brown turkey with olive oil and onions.

Reduce heat to medium; add garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt and pepper and stir until well combined.

Add diced tomatoes and water to mixture and bring to a boil.

Add cabbage, cover and reduce heat to medium low. Cook 7 to 10 minutes.

While mixture is cooking, prepare the cooked riced cauliflower. In a food processor or with a grater, rice your cauliflower into rice-sized pieces. Use enough cauliflower to yield 1 cup riced.

In an un-oiled pan over medium heat, cook the cauliflower until all moisture is gone, about 6-8 minutes. Set aside.

When your meat mixture is finished cooking, cooked riced cauliflower to pot and let flavors marry for a minute or two.

Top with cheese and cover 1-2 minutes to melt.

Remove from heat and serve.
