The Mise en Place
5 of 8Your prep station before cooking begins
The Protein (0/3)
The Pantry (0/4)
My cabbage wedges are falling apart and too soft to stuff.
Ah, sounds like those wedges got a little too much love in the oven.
My cabbage is still too stiff and won't pull apart into wraps.
If your cabbage is still a bit too firm and resisting your efforts to separate the leaves, it likely needed just a touch more time.
Chef's Notes
Roast cabbage wedges until edges are nicely browned and tender, not mushy. This adds depth of flavor.
Top with crumbled cotija cheese and a dollop of crema or sour cream for a cool contrast.
Roast the cabbage and cook the turkey ahead of time. Reheat gently before assembling.
