Recipe Information
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
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, instant yeast, and salt.
Mix warm water, honey, and oil in a separate bowl, then stir into the dry ingredients until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
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.
While the dough rises, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add ground turkey, onion, and garlic, cooking until the turkey is browned.
Add grated carrot and shredded cabbage to the skillet, continuing to cook for 3-4 more minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Stir in soy sauce and black pepper, then remove the filling from heat and let it cool slightly.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten into a 4-inch circle.
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.
Place the buns seal-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with egg white for a glossy finish.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Let the buns cool on a wire rack before serving.
