Nasty.
 
 

Why are they nasty?  Is this something your wife
posted on Nextdoor?
 
It looks like cabbage rolls before being covered
and going into the oven.  These certainly don't
look like they're cooked and could stand a bit
more tomato sauce.

 
Made with ground turkey.

 
That would be slightly off-putting but not necessarily repulsive
if reasonably spiced.  I'd much prefer ground pork or even ground
beef (which is the way my mother made cabbage rolls).

 
Or both pork and beef.
 

Yep!  And if I remember correctly, there was cooked rice added to the
cooked ground meat.
 

Joan's right, though.  More tomato sauce is needed, and not straight
from the can.  It needs to be flavored with onion, garlic, salt, and
pepper (at least).
 

I think my mother used canned tomato juice, not tomato sauce, to
simmer the cabbage rolls in.  I could be wrong.  I've got my mother's
recipe around here somewhere.  I know they were delicious but also a
lot of work to assemble.  And I think she simmered them in a large
pan on the stovetop, not baked in the oven.

I had them at a small hospital potluck.  I worked there and on holiday
meals when we had to work, we'd each bring a dish.  One of the fellow
Nurse's aides brought them in a crockpot.  Rice combined with mild
sausage meat in what I think was tomato juice then wrapped in soft
steamed cabbage leaves.

They were very good.  Klumpkies or something like that?  I think she
said a family recipe from Poland?  It's a memore from 1981 or so.
