Cajolo Ripiendo -- Stuffed Cabbage

Recipe Ingredients

1		Green cabbage (large)
1 1/2 lbs	681g / 24oz	Ground turkey
1/2 cup	73g / 2.6oz	Nfresh bread crumbs - plus 1/4c
2		Italian parsley - finely chopped, to yield 1/2c
1/2		Red onion - finely chopped (medium)
10		Sage leaves - finely chopped
1 teaspoon	5ml	Salt
2 teaspoons	10ml	Freshly ground black pepper
3		Eggs
2 cups	474ml	Basic tomato sauce
1/2 cup	118ml	Dry white wine

Recipe Instructions

Preheat oven to 375F.

Remove whole leaves from cabbage to yield 20 large leaves and plunge into boiling water. Cook until soft enough to fold, about 4 to 5 minutes. Drain and rinse with cool water and lay out on clean kitchen towel to continue cooling.

Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, place ground turkey, 1/2 cup bread crumbs, 1/4 cup parsley, red onion, sage, salt, pepper and eggs and mix well with hands. Lay out cabbage leaves on cutting board on counter and place a medium handful of turkey mixture in lower center of each leaf. Fold lateral sides inward and roll from base to form a closed pocket out of each stuffed leaf. In an oven-proof casserole, large enough to just hold all cabbage rolls, place half the tomato sauce and all the white wine. Lay cabbage rolls on top of sauce until covered with one layer. Spoon remaining sauce over and bake 1 hour. Remove and sprinkle with remaining bread crumbs and parsley. Serve immediately.
