Ingredients
  

  • 1 head green cabbage
  • 1 pound ground beef or turkey
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Remove the core from the cabbage and carefully peel off 12 large leaves. Blanch the leaves in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened, then drain and set aside to cool.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef or turkey, shredded cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, salt, black pepper, paprika, oregano, and thyme. Mix until well combined.
  4. Take a cabbage leaf and place about 1/4 cup of the meat mixture in the center. Fold the sides of the leaf over the filling and roll it up tightly. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining leaves and filling.
  5. Drizzle the cabbage burgers with olive oil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through and the cabbage is tender.
  6. Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce or condiment.
