Has anyone made dumplings before?

I have wonton wrappers and am thinking of making pot stickers or dumplings with them tonight.

Would this be a good filling?  ground turkey, shredded carrots, minced garlic, green onions, finely diced red pepper, ginger & some toated sesame oil

Im on the fence with the carrots?

What do I do...  jsut put a TBS in the middle and seal it up?  then steam?

Ive never made these?   How do I seal them?  With water?

H makes these. The filling sounds great! He just puts puts about a TBS in the middle like you said then seals it w/a little bit of water. You can steam or fry them, both ways are good!

Yep! I throwin whatever I have for the filing.

I would put some soy sauce in there to give it a little flavor. Otherwise it sounds good!

I just saw this. Mince it all up really well, otherwise when they cook they end up like little meatballs. To seal them, use water and then pinch them hard. If they're not fully sealed, they won't cook up right.

Just wondering what TBS is? I love dumplings but that's all I know about them.

Well that makes perfect sense.

by the way, rubber pants if you have leftover wrappers with no filling, frying them up flat and then as they dry, sprinkle some powdered sugar on. It's like homemade fried dough!

Totally unhealthy, but really good.

Rough chop all your stuff and then throw it in the food processor so it's really finely cut up. Mix with meat and soy sauce. Drop a small amount in the dumpling wrapper, smaller than you think, and use water to seal up the sides. Steam em, or pan fry, or deep fry, whichever you prefer. They freeze well too, as long as you freeze them in a single layer on a cookie sheet then move to a plastic bag when they're frozen.
