Ingredients
- 1 lb 93/7 lean ground turkey
- 1/3 cup fresh grated carrot (36 g)
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onion (18 g)
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic (15 g)
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger (15 g)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (15 ml)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (15 ml)
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil (10 g)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 28 wonton wrappers (187 g)
- 1/2 cup water for steaming
- Chili crisp oil for topping (optional)
- Additional sliced green onion for garnish (optional)
- Cooking spray or a small amount of oil for the pan
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the ground turkey, grated carrot, green onion, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, salt, and pepper.
- Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray or oil.
- Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, place small portions of the turkey mixture directly into the pan to form meatballs.
- Allow the meatballs to cook for about 2 minutes so the bottoms begin to brown.
- Place a wonton wrapper over each meatball and gently press the sides downward to create the blanket effect.
- Pour 1/2 cup water into the pan and immediately cover with a lid.
- Steam the dumplings for 6 to 8 minutes until the wrappers become slightly translucent and the turkey is fully cooked.
- Remove the lid and cook for 1 additional minute if needed to evaporate excess moisture and crisp the bottoms.
- Transfer the dumplings to serving plates.
- Top with chili crisp oil, soy sauce, and extra green onion if desired.
- Serve warm.
Notes
- Ground chicken can be substituted for turkey.
- Add mushrooms, cabbage, spinach, or zucchini for extra vegetables.
- Mix sriracha or chili garlic sauce into the filling for more heat.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce sodium content.
- These dumplings reheat well and are excellent for meal prep.
- Freeze cooked dumplings for up to 2 months.
- Reheat by steaming in a covered skillet with a splash of water.
- A nonstick skillet helps prevent sticking and keeps the bottoms crispy.
