Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 1 cup ground turkey
  • 1 cup fresh mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup green onions, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Wrapping

  • 30 thin dumpling wrappers

Optional for Serving

  • Dipping sauce (soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, chili flakes)
  • Sliced green onions
  • Toasted sesame seeds
  • Chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: Finely chop fresh mushrooms and green onions. In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, chopped mushrooms, green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well incorporated and fragrant.
  2. Assemble the Dumplings: Lay a dumpling wrapper flat in your palm. Spoon a small amount of filling into the center. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water using your finger, fold it over the filling to create a half-moon shape, and press the edges tightly to seal. Crimp edges decoratively to secure the filling inside.
  3. Cook the Dumplings: Choose your preferred method: Steam dumplings for 6-8 minutes until wrappers are translucent; or pan-fry on medium heat with a splash of oil until golden and crisp on the bottom, then add water, cover, and steam until cooked through; or boil in gently simmering water for 4-5 minutes until they float.
  4. Serve Hot and Enjoy: Transfer cooked dumplings to a warm plate. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, garnished with sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, or chopped cilantro if desired.

Notes

  • Keep filling cold before assembling to help it firm up and make handling easier.
  • Do not overfill the wrappers to ensure they seal properly without breaking.
  • Use a small spoon or scoop for consistent portion sizes and tidy dumplings.
  • Dampen wrappers slightly with water to prevent drying and cracking during assembly.
  • Test-cook one dumpling first to adjust seasoning or cooking time if necessary.
