This ground turkey burritos that will fool your kids recipe is a great kid-friendly recipe—your kids will eat the burritos and ask for more! Ground turkey, crushed tomatoes, rice, onions, garlic, and celery are wrapped in red cabbage within a white tortilla shell. We go to many evening swim meets, and our kids love them for an on-the-go dinner. If we told them what was inside, they would say, "Ew!" Make these without cheese for a lighter option.

Cut off red cabbage stem. Gently peel off leaves, being careful not to tear; place individual leaves into a large pot of water and bring to a boil. Cook for 5 minutes; reduce heat and simmer until tender but still crunchy and red, 8 to 10 minutes more. Drain.
