Let's try some Romanian food today! How about cabbage rolls with turkey !! Yummy

Romanian cabbage rolls with turkey !!!!!!!!!

 For this recipe  we'll need the following  ingredients :
-1 lb ground turkey
- 1 jar of pickled cabbage  leaves
-1 large onion
-4 cloves of garlic
-6 medium mushrooms
-1 carrot
-1 cup of rice
-2 small cans of tomato sauce
-a small bunch of parsley
-1 egg
-2 bay leaves
-ground black pepper
- paprika
-salt
-4 spoons of olive oil


Clean  and chop  the onion & garlic finely and fry in olive oil until it gets soft, and chop the mushrooms and the carrot  and add in the frying pen with the onion and garlic  for another  5 minutes . After that mix the fried vegetables with the ground turkey, rice, egg, parsley, tomato sauce, salt and  black pepper together.  Afterwords fill the  cabbage leaves with the composition  that you made. Let's see how we can fill the leave , if the leave is big cut in half  and then take a small amount of meat  fill and roll. It is not hard - just a lot of fun to do it. After finishing filling and rolling , we need a dutch oven.

On the bottom  of the pot  we need to  have a layer of cabbage leaves {the ones that are broken or thick} and then layers of the stuffed cabbage leaves and then have  2 bay leaves on top of it. After we'are done arranging the cabbage  leaves in the pot , pour water and the cabbage juice from the jar (if you like it a little bit  sour)  to cover it. Put to boil over low heat. Cooking time will be not less the an hour and a half, and then place the pot in the oven for 15 minutes {350 degrees}. After the cabbage rolls are ready, sprinkle some paprika on top and have a few leaves of parsley , just for the decor.:)







It can be served with either sour cream or yogurt, and either bread or polenta (corn meal).

 Enjoy the dish!!!!!!!!!!!
