Blanch cabbage leaves in boiling water for 3 minutes until pliable, then drain and trim thick stems.
Cook brown rice until parboiled and mix with ground turkey, diced onion, minced garlic, chopped dill, salt, and pepper.
Place a spoonful of the turkey mixture onto each cabbage leaf, fold in sides, and roll tightly.
Heat olive oil in a large pot, sauté grated carrots, then stir in tomato paste and chicken broth.
Arrange cabbage rolls in the pot, cover, and simmer on low heat for 60 minutes until the turkey is cooked through and rice is tender.
