1 lb ground turkey (or beef if you prefer)
2 cups cabbage, shredded
2 medium onions, chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
6 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup ketchup
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 tablespoon milk
coarse salt (optional)
cracked pepper (optional)
sesame seeds (optional) or poppy seed (optional)
TOPPINGS

Preparation

Have thawed bread dough ready.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a skillet, cook ground turkey or beef over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until browned (8 to 10 minutes). Drain fat if using beef.
Stir in shredded cabbage, onions, parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1 teaspoon minced garlic.
Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until cabbage is crisp-tender (5 to 6 minutes).
Stir in cheddar cheese and ketchup.
Divide each bread loaf into four equal pieces.
On lightly floured surface, roll each piece into a 6 inch circle; place about 1/2 cup meat mixture into each circle.
Carefully pinch the edges together to enclose the meat and form a bun.
Place seam side down onto a greased cookie sheet or baking stone.
In small bowl, stir together the egg and milk; brush each bun with the egg mixture.
Sprinkle each bun with a pinch of coarse salt, cracked pepper, and/or poppy or sesame seeds.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until browned.
Serve with toppings desired.
(These can easily be shaped into buns and frozen. To reheat, wrap in foil and place on a cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 55 to 60 minutes or until heated through.).
