Ingredients
-
2 lb ground turkey breast
1 box plain quinoa (uncooked)
1 head green cabbage (20 leaves and rest to chop)
1 egg
1/2 link polska kielbasa
1/2 box (2c) light/fat free chicken broth
1/2 can (14oz) crushed tomatoes
generous dash of salt and pepper
good hungarian paprika
Tips
You can omit the kielbasa for an even lower calorie meal. I warn you though, that majority of the flavor in this dish comes from the kielbasa, so I highly recommend keeping it, and enjoying the few extra calories. This dish is almost fat free, cholesterol free, and no carb, so the kielbasa will not make you tip the scale I PROMISE

add cabbage head to boiling water for 6 minutes
