Ingredients

For the Dumplings:

• 1 cup finely chopped cooked turkey meat
• 4 scallions, thinly sliced
• 1 clove garlic, grated
• 1 tablespoon tamari
• ½ teaspoon toasted sesame oil
• ½ teaspoon unseasoned rice vinegar
• ½ teaspoon grated ginger (from a 1-inch knob)
• ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 18 wonton wrappers

For the Dipping Sauce:

• 3 tablespoons tamari
• 1 scallion, sliced
• 1 teaspoon unseasoned rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon honey
• ½ teaspoon grated ginger

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

• In a large bowl, mix together turkey, scallions, garlic, tamari, sesame oil, rice vinegar, ginger, and red pepper flakes until well combined.

Step 2: Assemble the Dumplings

• Keep wonton wrappers covered with a damp towel to prevent drying.
• Working one at a time, moisten the edges of a wrapper with water. Place about 1 tablespoon of the turkey filling in the center.
• Fold the wrapper into a triangle and press the edges to seal. Bring two corners of the triangle together and pinch to secure.
• Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling, covering assembled dumplings with a damp towel.

Step 3: Cook the Dumplings

• Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Reduce to a rolling simmer.
• Working in two batches, carefully add dumplings to the water. Cook until they float to the surface, about 2 minutes.
• Remove with a slotted spoon and drain briefly on paper towels.

Step 4: Make the Dipping Sauce

• In a small bowl, whisk together tamari, scallion, rice vinegar, honey, and ginger.

Step 5: Serve

• Arrange dumplings on a plate and serve with the dipping sauce on the side.
