2. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in 1 pound ground beef (or turkey) and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain any excess grease.
4. Add 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce, 1 cup uncooked long-grain rice, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
5. Stir in 1/2 medium head of cabbage, thinly sliced.
6. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-35 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the cabbage is tender.
7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley (optional).
