Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cabbage Leaves:

   • Make four large slits around the core of the cabbage.
   • Submerge the cabbage, stem side down, in boiling water.
   • Cook on medium heat until the cabbage is bendable.
   • Remove and cut large leaves in half, setting them aside.

2. Mix the Filling:

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground turkey, ground pork, grated potato, old-fashioned oatmeal, Worcestershire sauce, mustard (exclude if you prefer less spice), minced garlic, black pepper, dill weed, grated ginger root, chopped parsley, and Tabasco sauce (skip if you’re not a spice enthusiast).
   • Mix the ingredients well until they form a cohesive and flavorful mixture.

3. Assemble the Rolls:

   • Place 1 tablespoon of the prepared mixture in each cabbage leaf.
   • Roll up the leaves and arrange them in a 12x7x2 inch baking pan or a large casserole dish.

4. Prepare the Sauce:

   • In a separate pan, combine soup and water, bringing it to a boil.

5. Pour Sauce and Bake:
