Turkey Cabbage Casserole

Potluck dinners are a great place to try out new recipes and that is exactly what we did when we made what we call Turkey Cabbage Casserole.  

Now we brought over half of this dish home not because of the taste but because I had no idea so many people find digesting cooked cabbage a problem.

Cabbage is such a healthy vegetable packed full of vitamin C, antioxidants, beta-carotene, and so much more.

It you like a bite of heat add more cayenne pepper and it you do not want heat eliminate it all together.  We use basmati rice in all of our rice dishes because we like the nutty flavour and because it holds its shape – does not become mushy.
