(16-ounce) package JENNIE-O® Lean Ground Turkey
16
ounces marinara sauce, divided
2
teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2
teaspoons salt
1 1/2

1.
Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) baking dish with cooking spray. In 2-quart saucepan, heat broth and quinoa to boiling. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook 10 to 12 minutes or until quinoa is tender. Remove from heat.
2.
Meanwhile, in 6-quart Dutch oven, cook whole head of cabbage in enough boiling water to cover; about 3 minutes or just until outer leaves are softened. Remove cabbage from water; remove as many leaves as can easily be removed. Return cabbage to water; repeat process until 12 to 14 leaves are removed.
3.
In large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add onions and carrots. Cook 3 to 5 minutes, or until softened. Stir in garlic. Add turkey; stirring to crumble, approximately 8 to 10 minutes, or until cooked through. Stir in Worcestershire, salt, paprika, pepper and ½ cup marinara sauce. Remove from heat. Add cooked quinoa to turkey mixture and stir to combine. Let cool slightly. Stir in egg.
4.
Spread ½ cup marinara sauce on bottom of prepared baking dish. For each roll, place about 3 tablespoons turkey mixture in cooked cabbage leaf; roll up, tucking in ends to completely cover mixture. Place seam side down in baking dish. Pour remaining marinara sauce over rolls.
5.
Cover tightly with foil; bake 30 to 40 minutes or until bubbly around edges.
