Ingredients
6.5 cups flour2 cups water0.25 cup butter1 medium egg2 packages yeast0.25 cups sugar2 lbs. turkey breast0.50 tsp cayenne pepper2 tsp salt or seasoned salt3 cups chopped cabbage1 cup diced onion
Directions
Mix 2 packages yeast, 2 cups water and 0.25 cup sugar in a bowl and let stand until frothy and bubbly. Add egg, 1 cup flour and melted butter. Mix. Add remaining flour 1 cup at a time until mixture resembles elastic bread dough. Let dough rise until double or refigerate in a large bowl overnight. Punch down and roll out to oblong shape. Divide into 16 equal-sized portions.

Brown turkey meat, and onion. Add salt, pepper, and cayenne (or other small amount of favorite spicy seasoning). Mix. Add 0.5 cup water and the cabbage. Simmer 15 to 20 minutes. Put an equal portion of the meat-cabbage mixture in the center or each of the 16 dough pieces. Seal the dough around the cabbage-meat portion and bake at 350 deg F for 20 minutes. Remove and cool completely.

It's important to add salt and spicy flavors to the turkey meat. If you use hamburger, you can omit the cayenne pepper as spiciness adds depth to poultry. The calorie content will likely increase with beef.
