Description

This Instant Pot cabbage roll casserole recipe offers elements of traditional cabbage rolls like tomato sauce and rice, but uses ground turkey not beef.

Ingredients

1 pound ground turkey
2/3 cup chopped onion
1 large head cabbage, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 (28 ounce) can Italian-style diced tomatoes
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can chicken broth
3/4 cup water
3/4 cup uncooked long grain white rice
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil, divided
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 teaspoon white sugar

Directions

1 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.
2 Add cabbage, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, water, rice, Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon basil, salt, and black pepper; make sure mixture does not exceed maximum fill line. Stir occasionally until mixture starts to boil, 5 to 7 minutes.
3 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.
4 Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
5 Release pressure using the natural-release method, about 8 minutes. Then use the quick-release method to release remaining pressure in short bursts according to manufacturer's instructions.
6 Unlock and remove the lid; stir in 1 cup Cheddar cheese.
7 Combine tomato sauce, sugar, and remaining ½ teaspoon basil in a bowl; pour ½ sauce into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spoon cabbage-rice mixture over sauce; spoon remaining ½ sauce over top. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup Cheddar cheese.
8 Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, 25 to 30 minutes.
