Ingredients
1 large head of cabbage1 lbs of ground turkey14 fresh roughly chopped plum tomatoes (cut them up over a bowl so you do not loose all the juices)1 cup diced mushrooms1 cup diced onion1 cup diced sweet red pepper1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese4 cloves minced garlic2 tbsp ground (dried) oreganosalt & pepper to taste1 cup (no salt added) tomato juice4 oz shredded mozzarella cheese (part skim milk)
Directions
In a large sauce pan combine all ingredients except cabbage and mozzarella cheese. Yes even the raw ground turkey. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a low-medium heat and simmer for 45 minutes, then set aside to cool slightly.

In a baking dish arrange the cabbage leaves as you would arrange lasagna noodles.....the sauce is intentionally a runny sauce, the cabbage will soak it all up (don't worry)

Keep building layers.....cabbage, sauce, cabbage, sauce etc until you have used all your ingredients.....there may be some sauce left over....try and use as much of the sauce as possible otherwise if there is not enough liquid then the cabbage will be too crunchy!

Once you have built your Cabbage lasagna, layer the top with the mozzarella cheese.

Bake in the oven for 75-90 minutes covered with tin foil at 300 degrees F. You could also assemble all the ingredients in a crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours....I have made this both ways.

Serve & Enjoy

If you want to fancy it up you can even do a layer with spinach & ricotta cheese, obviously this would increase the caloric intake for this recipe.
