Ingredients

• 3 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 packet Instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 pound Lean ground turkey
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium Carrot, grated
• 1 cup Cabbage, finely shredded
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce, low sodium
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 Egg white

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, instant yeast, and salt.

Step 2

Mix warm water, honey, and oil in a separate bowl, then stir into the dry ingredients until a dough forms.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough back in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

Step 5

While the dough rises, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add ground turkey, onion, and garlic, cooking until the turkey is browned.

Step 6

Add grated carrot and shredded cabbage to the skillet, continuing to cook for 3-4 more minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Step 7

Stir in soy sauce and black pepper, then remove the filling from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 8

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 9

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces.

Step 10

Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten into a 4-inch circle.

Step 11

Place a heaping tablespoon of the filling in the center of each circle. Fold the edges over the filling and pinch to seal, forming a bun.

Step 12

Place the buns seal-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with egg white for a glossy finish.

Step 13

Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Step 14

Let the buns cool on a wire rack before serving.
