Asian Inspired Ground Turkey Boiled Dumplings

To Make:

1. In a large bowl combined the following – ground turkey, 4 finely diced green onions, 2 tsp minced ginger, 2 tbsp minced garlic, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 tbsp sriracha. Combine well and set aside.
2. Next we are going to make the dumplings – grab a large sheet pan and line with parchment paper, this will be where we put the assembled dumplings. You also will need a small bowl of warm water.
3. To start, take one dumpling wrapper and fill the center with 1-2 tbsp of the ground turkey filling (don’t overfill or you won’t be able to close the dumpling, but you want enough filling).
4. Next, dip your finger in the warm water and trace the outside of the dumpling wrapper (this will help ensure it seals). Carefully fold the wrapper together to create a half moon and gently press to close the wrapping. This is where you can get fancy with it to make beautiful dumplings. I opt for simplicity because my dumpling wrapping skills are subpar at best.
5. Once the dumpling is formed, set it on the sheet pan.
6. Repeat steps 2-5 until all the filling is used.
7. Now, if you are going to cook them bring a large pot of water to a boil on the stove. (If you are cooking all of the dumplings, you will want to do this in batches to not overcrowd). Carefully drop in 8-10 dumplings and cook in the boiling water for about 6-8 minutes.
8. Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the dumplings and transfer to a bowl for serving.
9. To serve, top the dumplings with finely diced green onions, a generous helping of chili oil, and a 1:1 soy sauce to rice vinegar mixture (you could serve this on the side, or pour it over the dumplings).
10. *If you are not planning to cook the dumplings right away and want to freeze them. I recommend putting the sheet pan in the freezer for about an hour to freeze. Once the dumplings are frozen, you can transfer them from the sheet pan to ziploc bags!
