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.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup uncooked brown rice
  • water to cover
  • 1 head red cabbage
  • 0.25 cups olive oil
  • 1 stalk celery , finely chopped
  • 0.5 reds onion , chopped
  • 1 clove garlic , minced
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • sea salt to taste
  • 1 , 8 ounce
  • 12 , 10 inch

Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring brown rice with enough water to cover in a saucepan to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 45 to 50 minutes.

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté celery, onion, and garlic until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Mix in turkey; season with salt. Cook and stir until turkey is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add crushed tomatoes and cooked rice; cook, stirring occasionally, until flavors combine, 10 to 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Place 1 cabbage leaf on top of each tortilla. Fill with turkey-rice mixture; fold up bottom end and roll into a tight burrito.

  5. 5

    Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Cook burritos, in batches, until outsides are crunchy, about 5 minutes, flipping as necessary. Repeat with remaining burritos.
