Ingredients

• water to cover
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
• 12 (10 inch) flour tortillas
• 1 cup uncooked brown rice
• sea salt to taste
• 1 (8 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
• 1 head red cabbage
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 0.5 red onion, chopped

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring water and brown rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 45 to 50 minutes.

Step 2

Cut off the stem of the red cabbage. Peel leaves off gently, being careful not to tear. Place individual leaves gently into a large pot of water and bring to a boil. Cook for 5 minutes; reduce heat and simmer until tender but still crunchy and red, 8 to 10 minutes more. Drain.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion, celery, and garlic until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Mix in turkey meat and season with salt. Cook and stir until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add crushed tomatoes and cooked rice. Cook, stirring occasionally, until flavors combine, 10 to 15 minutes more.

Step 4

Place 1 cabbage leaf on top of each tortilla. Fill with the turkey-rice mixture. Fold the bottom end up and roll into a tight burrito.

Step 5

Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Add burritos in batches; cook, flipping as necessary, until outsides are crunchy, about 5 minutes.
