TURKEY CABBAGE BAKE



Turkey Cabbage Bake image

"I revised this old recipe by using ground turkey instead of ground beef (to make it healthier), by finely chopping the cabbage to improve texture and by adding thyme," explains Irene Gutz of Fort Dodge, Iowa. "Crescent rolls help it go together quickly, and it's often requested."

### Tips

Tips:

  • Choose lean ground turkey: Opt for ground turkey with a fat content of 93% or higher. This will help reduce the overall fat and calorie content of the casserole.
  • Use non-fat or low-fat dairy products: Use non-fat or low-fat milk, yogurt, and cheese to reduce the saturated fat and cholesterol content of the casserole.
  • Add plenty of vegetables: Vegetables add fiber, vitamins, and minerals to the casserole, making it more nutritious and filling. Use a variety of vegetables, such as cabbage, carrots, celery, and onion.
  • Go easy on the salt: Too much salt can raise blood pressure. Use low-sodium or no-salt-added ingredients whenever possible, and season the casserole with herbs and spices instead of salt.
  • Cook the casserole in a non-stick skillet or baking dish: This will help prevent the casserole from sticking and make it easier to clean up.
