Baked Turkey Wontons

 Recently, I have still been trying to eat somewhat clean and healthy, but I have also been having a craving for eggrolls, these ground turkey wontons are a great and healthier alternative to eggrolls but also satisfy the craving for them. Normally I make this same recipe but use eggroll wraps, but due to Walmart not having them in stock, I had to get a little creative in the kitchen.  

Ingredients 

• 4 tsp sesame oil 

• 8 oz ground turkey 

• 1 tsp garlic powder 

• 1 tsp onion powder 

• Salt and pepper to taste 

• 1 tsp minced garlic 

• 1 tsp minced ginger 

• 2 cups of coleslaw mix 

• 1 Tbsp soy sauce 

• 24 wonton wrappers 

• Spray oil 

• 2 Tbsp corn starch or all-purpose flour 

• ¼ cup of water 

Instructions 

For this recipe, the instructions will be broken down into three parts: how to prepare the meat, how to prepare the coleslaw mixture and how to assemble the wontons. 

To Prepare the Meat 

• Heat a pan over medium heat 

• Coat the bottom of the pan with sesame oil 

• Add in the ground turkey and break it up and cook until browned 

• Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper 

• Let cool for 5 minutes 

To Prepare the Coleslaw Mixture 

• In a large mixing bowl, add the coleslaw mixture 

• Add minced garlic, minced ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil and cornstarch 

• Mix until a paste-like consistency is formed 

• Add cooled down meat and toss to combine 

To Assemble the Wontons 

• Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly coat in spray oil 

• On a paper plate, lay a wonton wrapper flat 

• Place about 1 Tbsp of the coleslaw mixture in the center of the wrapper 

• Lightly coat the edges of the wonton wrapper with water 

• Fold the square wonton wrapper in half, over the mixture, to form a triangle 

• Press edges so they are securely stuck 

• Transfer wonton to a lined baking sheet 

• Repeat for all 24 wonton wrappers 

• Bake for 7 minutes at 400 F 

• Remove from the oven, flip wontons, cook for another 2 minutes 

Serve with optional but highly recommended sriracha mayo and enjoy!
