Turkey Pot Stickers

The filling was a bit bland. Next time I'd add salt and maybe white pepper and garlic powder. Used a mix of chicken breast & surimi. Subbed garlic for ginger. Sauce was good.

Delicious! One of my most favorite apps. The only bad thing is that you have to cook them to order otherwise they get cold. Company is always impressed by them. If I don't have leftover poultry, I boil chix breasts and make the mixture in a food processor.

My wife and I love these and they are especially fun to make together. We cooked a whole turkey breast with the sole intention of making the pot stickers. My advice is to immediately (at least) double the recipe to make it worth your while. If you have a little more wiggle room in your diet, you can save some of your turkey juice/drippings and dilute with water 1:4 for a little extra flavor when cooking.

I just made these using Thanksgiving turkey. In the spirit of reusing leftovers, I added mashed yams to the mix instead of egg whites (I never know what to do with the lone yolks). I also had some cilantro hanging around and threw that in too! We make jiaozi (Chinese dumplings) quite a bit so they were a wiz for me to put together. Delish!

I have made these pot stickers every year after Thanksgiving since the recipe came out in 2002. Yes, it is a little work but they are so good. Very different from traditional leftover turkey recipes that many times have a lot of fat. My husband and I eat them for dinner with a salad. I highly recommend trying them.
