Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, 25 to 30 minutes.

Step 3

Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Sauté function. Add turkey and onion. Cook and stir until turkey is brown and crumbly and onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 4

Add cabbage, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, water, rice, Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon basil, salt, and pepper. Make sure mixture does not exceed the maximum fill line. Stir occasionally until mixture starts to boil, 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 5

Close and lock the lid. Select High pressure according to manufacturer's instructions. Set timer for 5 minutes, allowing pressure to build, 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 6

Release pressure using the natural-release method, about 8 minutes. Then use the quick-release method according to the manufacturer's instructions, releasing the remaining pressure in short bursts.

Step 7

Remove the lid and stir in 1 cup of Cheddar cheese.

Step 8

Combine tomato sauce, sugar, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon basil in a bowl. Pour 1/2 of the sauce into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spoon cabbage-rice mixture over sauce, then spoon remaining sauce over top. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup Cheddar cheese.
