Stuffed cabbage is eaten in different parts of the world, including Lebanon, Slovakia, Hungary and the Czech Republic. One difference between recipes out there are the spices used. You can choose any spice blend you like, such as Italian seasoning, Chinese 5 Spice, Lebanese 7 Spice, Garam Masala or something else.
Nutritionally, this is a balanced meal with a grain (rice), a protein (ground turkey, or use lean ground beef, ground chicken, or even pressed and crumbled tofu), and vegetables (cabbage, tomatoes, onions).
Serve this hearty stuffed cabbage with pan-fried or steamed cabbage, in order to make use of the extra cabbage you will have after preparing this recipe. See the notes for the p[an-fried cabbage recipe.
