So here's a low sodium recipe with abour 548mg per one serving of sodium(based on a 2000mg intake/diet). That aside, I wanted to try something different and that could last for 2 people quite a few days. As per usual, I tweaked the recipe a bit and will put the substitutions down at the bottom, but otherwise enjoy.


Ingredients

1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 lb ground pork
1 onion , diced
3 cloves garlic , minced
1 cup tomato sauce
1 can tomato soup
2 tablespoons tomato paste
28 oz . canned diced tomatoes with liquid
1 teaspoon dried dill
3 tablespoons fresh parsley
1 bay leaf
salt & pepper to taste
2 1/2 cups cooked rice (brown or white)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 head of cabbage, chopped

Note:Instead of the one pound of ground beef and the half pound of pork, I opted to use 2 pounds of lean ground turkey and completely omitted the fresh parsley and it turned out just as well. Also for the rice, I used 2 bags of white rice, the boil in the bag ones.
