I love cooking with ground turkey. it’s a wonderful alternative to ground beef as it is healthier and less expensive. This casserole comes out tasting amazing. I don’t know if the folks of yesteryear actually ate this ground turkey and cabbage casserole but if they did we can be certain that it put a great big smile on their faces.
I never thought about this delicious casserole being served on St. patty’s Day but I guess it would make sense because of the cabbage. This is a great casserole to serve on any day, though 🙂
Ingredients
1 head of cabbage (whatever size you want, depending how much you like cabbage)
1 lb. lean ground beef (or ground turkey)
1 onion, chopped
1 can Campbell’s condensed tomato soup (I use the Campbell’s healthy request)
salt and pepper, to taste
cooked rice, optional
Instructions
Remove the core from the cabbage and coarsely chop the whole head. In a skillet, cook the beef and onion until the beef is browned. Spread half of chopped cabbage into a large casserole dish. Cover with the meat mixture. Top with the remaining cabbage (you may have to pack it down–it looks like a TON of cabbage, but it shrinks down a lot while cooking). Pour tomato soup over the top, and spread it around. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hr and 15 minutes (more or less, depending on how soft you like the cabbage to be). Serve over rice.
