Smoked Turkey and Cheese Stuffed Bread Rolls

1. Prepare the Dough:
   • In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water and sprinkle the yeast on top. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture, melted butter, and beaten egg.
   • Mix the ingredients until a dough forms. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
   • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
2. Prepare the Filling:
   • In a medium bowl, combine the smoked turkey, shredded cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, oregano, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix well to combine. Adjust seasoning to taste.
3. Assemble the Rolls:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
   • Punch down the risen dough and turn it onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces.
   • Roll each piece into a ball and then flatten it into a small rectangle or oval shape, about ¼ inch thick.
   • Place a generous tablespoon of the turkey and cheese filling in the center of each dough piece.
   • Fold the edges over the filling and pinch them together to seal, forming a roll. Place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake the Rolls:
   • In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley. Brush the tops of the rolls with the garlic butter mixture.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
   • Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
