TURKEY WONTONS
This recipe makes a lot of turkey wontons, or dumplings. So, I make a batch and freeze at least half of them. Some I boil in chicken stock with some julienned carrots and shredded bok choy. Others I steam and dip in soy sauce. My family loves them!

- Cut scallions in half; slice green tops and set aside. Add white and light green parts of scallions to the bowl of a food processor with water chestnuts; pulse until finely chopped. Empty mixture into a large mixing bowl.
- Place cooked shrimp into the food processor and pulse until cut into tiny pieces. Add cut shrimp, ground turkey, pressed garlic, flour, soy sauce, and ginger to the large mixing bowl with the scallion mixture. Blend all ingredients thoroughly using your hands.
- Place about 1 teaspoon of the meat mixture onto a wonton wrapper. Wet your finger in a small dish of water and moisten the outer edges of the wrapper. Fold and pinch the edges so that the meat will not come out when cooking. Repeat to make remaining dumplings.

Steps:
- In a soup pot, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil. Season the turkey legs with salt and pepper, add them to the pot and cook over high heat until browned on all sides, about 7 minutes. Add the water, stock, garlic, chopped celery, carrot, yellow onion, bay leaf, thyme sprig and peppercorns and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer over moderately low heat until the turkey legs are tender and the meat pulls away from the bone, about 1 hour.
- Transfer the turkey legs to a large plate and let cool slightly. Pull the meat off the bones and coarsely chop it; discard the skin. Return the bones to the pot and simmer the turkey stock for 1 hour longer.
- Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the diced celery and red onion and cook over moderate heat until softened, about 5 minutes; transfer to a food processor. Add the turkey, season with salt and pepper and pulse until the turkey is finely chopped.
- On a work surface, lay out 10 wonton wrappers. Scoop 1 tablespoon of the turkey filling into the center of each wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water and fold it in half on the diagonal, creating a triangle; press the edges to seal. Transfer the wonton to a baking sheet and keep covered with a damp cloth. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Strain the turkey stock into another pot and skim the fat from the surface. Season with salt and pepper and bring the stock to a simmer. Add the wonton, cover and cook until the wrappers are just tender, about 5 minutes. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with the dill and serve.

Tips:
- To make the wonton wrappers from scratch, you will need all-purpose flour, salt, eggs, and water. Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, then roll it out thinly. Cut the dough into squares and fill them with your favorite turkey mixture.
- If you are using store-bought wonton wrappers, be sure to thaw them completely before using. You can do this by placing them in a bowl of cold water for about 30 minutes.
- To cook the wontons, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop the wontons into the boiling water and cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until they float to the top. Remove the wontons from the pot with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels.
- You can serve the wontons with a variety of dipping sauces, such as soy sauce, vinegar, or chili sauce. You can also add them to soups or salads.
