This recipe is from Cooking Light. Ground turkey & Granny Smith Apples combine for a wonderful filling for cabbage rolls - topped with a sweet & savory sauce. This is my husband's favorite dish & I usually double the sauce for him. Don't let the length of the recipe scare you - they're worth the effort!! Ingredients:
3 lbs cabbage, whole |
2 tablespoons water |
cooking spray |
1 onion, slivered |
1 cup water |
1/3 cup long-grain rice, uncooked |
1 cup granny smith apple, peeled & diced |
2/3 cup green onion, chopped |
1/2 cup 2% low-fat milk |
1 1/4 teaspoons garlic salt |
3/4 teaspoon dried rubbed sage |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
1 large egg |
1 lb ground turkey |
1/4 cup water |
4 slices bacon, chopped |
1/3 cup dark corn syrup |
3 tablespoons tomato paste |
1 1/2 tablespoons water |
3/4 teaspoon salt |

1. Core cabbage, place in microwave safe dish, add 2 tablespoons water, loosely cover with plastic wrap. Microwave at high for 9 minutes, rotating baking dish a half-turn after 5 minutse.

Place about 1/2 cup turkey mixture in center of each cabbage leaf. Fold in edges & roll up; place rolls on top of coarsely chopped cabbage. Cut several 1/4 deep slits across top of each roll. Pour 1/4 cup water over rolls. Cover with foil & bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
5. To prepare basting glaze, cook bacon in small saucepan over medium heat until lightly browned. Remove from heat & drain bacon (discard drippings). Return bacon to pan; stir in corn syrup and remaining ingredients. Uncover cabbage rolls, spoon 1/3 basting glaze over rolls. Bake uncovered 1 hour, basting w/glaze every 20 minutes.
