Lazy Cabbage Rolls

Hello! I am reaching into my heritage here,. Being Polish/Ukrainian, there are certain foods 
you grow up with, eating and loving, for the rest of your life. One of them being cabbage rolls.  
They are a comfort food staple and my family loves them. 
Here is a little bit of a cheat, so that you can enjoy that flavor any time. 



Here we go! You will need:
1 bag of  coleslaw~ this is most economical and the work is already done for you! 
2 tbsps extra virgin olive oil.
6 lean turkey sausages, or a pkg of ground turkey, chicken or beef~ your preference.
black pepper
red pepper and garlic shake
1 medium onion chopped
3 cloves of garlic chopped
1 large can crushed tomatoes
3 cups of cooked rice


Saute onions & garlic in olive oil.
Squeeze turkey out of sausage skins~ I found these sausages on sale~ you could just use ground turkey, chicken, or beef.
Add spices to taste
Cook until meat is completely browned
Add bag of coleslaw and stir well.
Add tomatoes, simmer for 20 minutes covered, to allow cabbage to cook through. 
Add  cooked rice, allow to simmer for 5 more minutes, or until mixture is completely heated through.
Serve
Enjoy!
