Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.75 cups Warm water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 pound Lean ground turkey
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Cilantro or parsley, finely chopped
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Gradually add the warm water, mixing until the dough comes together.
Step 2
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Step 3
While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. In a bowl, mix the ground turkey, chopped onion, minced garlic, water, black pepper, and cilantro or parsley until well combined.
Step 4
Once rested, divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Roll each piece into a log and cut into 5 sections, yielding 20 pieces in total.
Step 5
Roll each dough piece into a thin circle about 4 inches in diameter.
Step 6
Place a tablespoon of the filling into the center of each dough circle.
Step 7
To shape the khinkali, gather the edges of the dough circle and pinch together at the top, creating a pleated, twisted top. Be sure to seal the dumplings tightly so the filling does not leak during cooking.
Step 8
In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add a pinch of salt.
Step 9
Gently drop the khinkali into the boiling water in batches, taking care not to overcrowd the pot.
Step 10
Cook for about 7-9 minutes or until the khinkali rise to the surface and the dough is tender.
Step 11
Remove the khinkali with a slotted spoon and let drain. Serve hot and enjoy this low-fat version of a classic dish.
