1 lbs ground turkey any ground meat preferred
1 small white onion
2 teaspoon dill
1 tablespoon fresh parsley
2 teaspoon dolma spice mix

Make sure to remove the first layer and start by washing the cabbage and cutting it in half to make it easier to remove the leaves without breaking it.
Start to blanche the leaves by first boil water with salt add cabbage leaves for about 1-2. Cabbage color should be vibrant. Remove from boiling water and place in icy water immediately. Remove from water and set aside.
Next minced the onions. In a bowl, wash the rice and drain in a sieve (do this until water is clear).
In a bowl, mix the ground meat and rice with all the seasonings (onions, dill, parsley, dolma spice, tomato paste, oil, salt and pepper). Use your hand to mix all the ingredients.
Fill inside the leaves with the mixture and roll tightly and place in casserole. Make sure the opening of the rolls are placed against the casserole to prevent them from opening during the cooking process.
Add water until the rolls are covered half of the way.
Cook in low heat for about an hour or until rice is fully cooked. Remove from water let it rest for about 5 minutes and serve with yogurt sauce.
