Preheat the oven to 400\u00b0F. Season the turkey with salt and pepper. Spread 5 tbsp parsley leaves over the turkey and press so they stick.

Meanwhile, heat the butter in a saucepan, add the diced shallots and cabbage and saute for 3-4 mins, stirring. Pour in the apple juice and vinegar. Mix in the bay leaves and cloves and season. Cover and simmer for 45-50 mins.
Mix the apples into the cabbage and cook for a further 10 mins. Remove the turkey from the roasting pan, wrap in foil and set aside. Pour the juices in the pan through a sieve into a saucepan. Stir the gravy mix with a little water until smooth and thick then pour into the pan and simmer, stirring, until it thickens.
Slice the turkey and divide between 4 plates with the cabbage. Drizzle with gravy and garnish with parsley. Serve with dumplings.
