  • Bring water and brown rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 45 to 50 minutes.
  • Cut off stem of red cabbage. Peel off leaves gently, being careful not to tear. Place individual leaves gently into a large pot of water and bring to a boil. Cook for 5 minutes; reduce heat and simmer until tender but still crunchy and red, 8 to 10 minutes more. Drain.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onion, celery, and garlic until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Mix in turkey and season with salt. Cook and stir until meat is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add crushed tomatoes and cooked rice. Cook, stirring occasionally, until flavors combine, 10 to 15 minutes more.
  • Place 1 cabbage leaf on top of each tortilla. Fill with turkey-rice mixture. Fold the bottom end up and roll into a tight burrito.
  • Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Add burritos in batches; cook, flipping as necessary, until outsides are crunchy, about 5 minutes.
