Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground turkey
• 150 grams Shelled edamame
• 3 stalks Green onions
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Ginger
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 Egg
• 30 Gyoza wrappers
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 100 milliliters Water

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the green onions and mince the garlic and ginger.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, shelled edamame, chopped green onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and egg. Mix well until all components are thoroughly integrated.

Step 3

Place a gyoza wrapper on a flat surface and add about 1 tablespoon of the filling mixture to the center.

Step 4

Moisten the edge of the wrapper with a little water, fold it in half, and press the edges together to seal. Optionally, create pleats along the sealed edge for a traditional look.

Step 5

Repeat the filling and sealing process for the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 6

In a large non-stick skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

Step 7

Place the gyozas in the skillet in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.

Step 8

Carefully add the water to the skillet and cover with a lid. Steam the gyozas for about 5 minutes or until the water evaporates.

Step 9

Remove the lid and allow the gyozas to cook for another 1-2 minutes to re-crisp the bottoms.

Step 10

Serve warm with soy sauce or your preferred dipping sauce.
