Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and lightly coat a 9 × 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Shred the cabbage, reserving 18 to 20 whole leaves for serving, if desired.
Cook the rice according to the package directions.
While the rice cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add the onion and garlic and sauté for 2 minutes, until fragrant. Add the diced tomatoes, 1/2 of the tomato sauce, the parsley, salt, and pepper. Add the turkey and sauté for 5 minutes.
Add the shredded cabbage to the tomato sauce mixture and cook for 5 minutes to wilt the cabbage, stirring occasionally. Pour the mixture into the baking dish and bake for 45 minutes.
Meanwhile, add the brown sugar, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce to the remaining tomato sauce in a small skillet and bring just to a simmer, stirring until well mixed. Pour the sauce over the baked casserole or serve on the side. Place 3 to 4 whole cabbage leaves in each individual bowl, top with casserole ﬁlling, and serve.
