Leftovers Soup

This is so easy and uses up the bits and pieces of leftovers that you have at the end of the week in your fridge.
Example (I cooked today): Rice/kale mixture, half chicken breast chopped, one green zucchini that was getting soft, one celery stalk chopped, cabbage, kale, 2 potato wedges, corn salsa......I put all of this in a pot and added chicken broth, one bay leaf and some onion powder and garlic powder. Let it cook until everything is cooked through and turns soupy. It cooks in such a short amount of time and is super healthy!

Unstuffed cabbage with ground turkey

Preheat oven to 350F

1T olive oil or small amount of chicken stock
1 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, diced
1- 1 1/2 pounds ground turkey
6T uncooked brown rice
3/4 to 1 whole medium cabbage, roughly chopped
1 10.5oz can condensed tomato soup
1c tomato sauce
1c water
seasonings to taste

Heat oil (or I used chicken stock) in a large skillet and saute onion and pepper. Once they are pretty much cooked through add your turkey and cook over medium heat until it's nicely brown. (It does not have to be cooked through since it'll be in the oven for a long time.) Stir in uncooked rice.

While turkey is browning, spread cabbage in bottom of 8x10 pan or casserole dish. Top cabbage with turkey mixture.

Then combine tomato soup, tomato sauce, water and ground pepper along with any other seasonings you prefer. Then pour evenly over the cabbage and turkey.

Cover with foil and bake for 1.5 hours.
This is really healthy and tastes very good.
