Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 lb ground turkey
- 5 cups cabbage, chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 1 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 bay leaves
- 1/4 cup long-grain white rice
- 1 cup onion, diced into 1/2-inch pieces

- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

Instructions
- Heat 2 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until fully cooked and lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes.
- Stir in salt and black pepper. Add diced onions and sliced carrots to the pot, cooking until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Sprinkle in Italian seasoning and paprika, cooking for 1 minute to bloom the spices.

- Pour in 1/2 cup beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to release browned bits.

- Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for about 35 minutes.
- After cooking, remove bay leaves, adjust seasoning if needed, and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
