The Mise en Place
5 of 6Your prep station before cooking begins
Shell (0/1)
Filling (0/4)
My cabbage leaves are tearing when I try to fold them.
Ah, that usually means the leaves weren't quite ready for rolling.
My turkey filling tastes a bit bland and dry.
Let's check that filling. Sometimes, if the turkey roasts a bit too long in Step 3, or the oven's a touch too hot, it can lose its moisture. Also, make sure you really tasted that…
Chef's Notes
Dry the leaves well before roasting or they’ll steam.
Use ground chicken or finely chopped shrimp.
The Method
SOFTEN
Time-sensitiveBlanch cabbage leaves in boiling water for 45-60 seconds, then pat dry.
Leaves should be flexible and foldable without tearing.
MIX
Mix turkey with soy sauce (2 tbsp), garlic (3 cloves), and ginger (1 tbsp).
Mixture should smell savory and gingery, not bland.
WRAP
Place filling in each leaf, fold tightly into a wrap.
Wraps should feel tight with seams tucked under.
ROAST
Time-sensitiveBrush wraps lightly with oil and roast at 450°F for 10-12 minutes, flipping once.
Edges should blister and crisp while the filling stays juicy.
REST
Rest 5 minutes before serving.
Wraps set and slice cleanly without spilling.
