Directions
Turkey wonton filling:
- In a large bowl combine all ingredients together, except for the wonton skins, and mix well.
Turkey wontons:
- Place a wonton skin on a clean surface so it looks like a diamond. Place a small amount of wonton mix in the center. Wet the bottom corner of the wonton skin with water and fold it up to the opposite corner. Press the edges to seal. Wet the two side corners with water and bring them together and press firm to join. Repeat above until all your wonton mix is used up. Place wontons on a lined baking tray and place in freezer.
- Place a large soup pot of water on the stove top and turn the heat to high. Bring the water to a boil. Carefully put your wontons in the boiling water, stir after two minutes, cook for five to seven minutes. Stating the obvious- only cook the amount of wontons you want to eat. This recipe makes enough dumplings for you to use multiple times for many different applications. Place the remaining dumplings in a ziplock bag and store in the freezer for another day.
- Remove wonton's from boiling water with a slotted spoon and place in a stainless steel bowl. Put aside until needed.
