Turkey dumplings

Nom.

This is the first dumpling I tried by boiling instead of frying. It was delicious!

I used ground turkey, but you can really use anything for the filling. Mine had

Sriracha hot chili sauce
red chili powder
parsley
garlic powder
hoisin sauce
oyster sauce
also, some EVOO to keep things moist.

Mix 'em all up in a bowl.



This mush will be the inside of your dumplings. Can really be anything. I just happened to have some left-over ground turkey from making turkey burgers a few days earlier. The only thing you actually need for this recipe is wanton wrappers. I'm sure you could use square ones, but I used circular, and they were kind of old and crusty at the edges so please ignore the cracked white floury parts of the dumpling. Still tasted fine, it just looks kinda ugly.

You can also fold them any way you like... this is how I did it!

Steps 1, 2, and 3 are shown from left to right at the bottom of this image.



Boil some water with salt and EVOO. Then, put your dumplings in. When they rise, they are done, and should be taken out and put on a paper towel to absorb any excess moisture.



The final product! Isn't it fabulous?

Yay poor image quality.
