Ingredients:
Amount Ingredient
1 lrg green cabbage head
1/2 lb ground turkey
1 cup fresh breadcrumbs toasted, divided
3/4 cup finely-chopped fresh Italian parsley divided
1/2 med red onion finely chopped
10 x sage leaves finely chopped
1 tsp salt
2 tsp freshly-ground black pepper
3 x eggs
2 cup Basic Tomato Sauce (see recipe)
1/2 cup dry white wine
Instructions:
Instructions: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Bring 6 quarts of water to a boil and add 2 tablespoons salt.

Remove whole leaves from the cabbage to yield 14 large leaves and plunge into the 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 towels to continue cooling.

Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, place the ground turkey, 1/2 cup of the bread crumbs, 1/2 cup of the parsley, red onion, sage, salt and pepper and eggs and mix well with hands. Lay out the cabbage leaves on a cutting board and place a medium-sized handful of the turkey mixture in the lower center of each leaf. Fold the lateral sides inward and roll from the base to form a closed pocket out of each stuffed leaf.

In an ovenproof casserole large enough to hold all the cabbage rolls, place half the tomato sauce and all the wine. Lay the cabbage rolls atop the sauce. Spoon the remaining sauce over and bake 1 hour. Remove and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup bread crumbs, 1/4 cup parsley and chopped mint. Serve immediately.
