Admittedly, I was a bit suspicious of the white rice (something I don't keep in my kitchen anymore), but by and large, I like cabbage rolls. I hated any sort of cabbage when I was a kid, then I learned how to cook it (thanks, Alton Brown!). My Mom used to boil it until it was pale and mushy. Blech!

The sugar and cornstarch in the sauce sort of put me off, too.

What constitutes one serving of these? One roll? Three? I don't do this for every recipe I post, but generally if there's one with substantial carbs, I'll go to Fitday and do a quick macro breakdown for it.

Fitday says for the whole dish 2158 calories, 39%F, 28% C, 33% P, if made with brown rice and ground turkey. Not quite as bad as I suspected. Divide 2158 by 12 rolls and you have 180 per roll. Not so bad, especially compared with nachos or other typical superbowl foods. Daytona's coming up next weekend, so that's another opportunity to pig out, right?
