Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground turkey
- 4 stalks Green onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Ginger, grated
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 1 medium Carrot, grated
- 1 cup Cabbage, shredded
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 40 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 1 large Egg, lightly beaten
- 2 cups Neutral oil for frying (e.g., vegetable oil)
- 0 Dipping sauce of choice (soy sauce, chili sauce, etc.)
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, green onion, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, grated carrot, shredded cabbage, salt, and black pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Step 2
On a clean, flat surface, lay out one wonton wrapper. Place 1 teaspoon of the turkey mixture in the center of the wrapper.
Step 3
Lightly brush the edges of the wrapper with the beaten egg using a small pastry brush or your finger.
Step 4
Fold the wrapper in half diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges firmly to seal. If desired, bring the two bottom corners together and press to form a traditional wonton shape. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Step 5
In a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the neutral oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Step 6
Carefully fry the wontons in small batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp.
Step 7
Remove the cooked wontons using a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Step 8
Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce. Enjoy!
