- Preheat the oven to 350.
- In a large bowl, mix together the turkey, potato, onion, pepper, garlic, dill, parsley, egg, and potato flakes. Season with salt and pepper and mix well until combined.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the tomatoes, vinegar, and paprika, and season with salt and pepper.
- Spread a thin layer of the tomato sauce into the bottom of the pan.
- One by one, add a scoop of the turkey filling into a cabbage leaf and roll it up, starting with the stem side, and ending with the leafy side, tucking in the edges as you go.
- Place the roll seam side down in the pan and repeat until you have no more filling. You should tuck the rolls tightly in the pan.
- Top the rolls with the remaining sauce.
- Bake at 350 for about an hour until the turkey is cooked and the sweet potato is tender.
- Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
