Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Prepare the Cabbage:
    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and discard. Cut the cabbage into quarters, removing the hard core. Blanch the cabbage quarters in boiling water for about 5 minutes, or until the leaves are pliable. Drain and set aside
  • Make the Meat Sauce:
    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground turkey or chicken until browned. Add chopped onions and minced garlic, sautéing until the onions are soft and translucent. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  • Prepare the Ricotta Mixture:
    In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese and egg. Mix well.
  • Assemble the Lasagna:
    In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of the meat sauce on the bottom.Place a cabbage leaf on top, followed by a layer of the ricotta mixture, then a layer of meat sauce. Repeat until all the cabbage leaves are used, finishing with a layer of meat sauce on top.
  • Top with Cheese:
    Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the lasagna.
  • Bake:
    Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
