Cookinero 25 Oct 2022

Turkey dumplings are suitable for those who are trying to follow the canons of a proper, balanced diet. Of course, they are made from dough, but it is so thin that you can definitely afford at least a small portion. But there are simply no questions about the filling of dumplings: it includes juicy pulp from the thighs of a turkey, onions and spices. Nothing extra, high-calorie, fatty! Using ready-made high-quality dough greatly simplifies the task and makes the process of creating delicious turkey dumplings quick, easy and enjoyable.

How to cook Turkey dumplings

Clean the turkey meat from films and connective tissues and cut into cubes of about 2x2 cm. Spread them on a tray and put in the freezer for 15-20 minutes. The meat will freeze slightly, and it will be more convenient to roll it into minced meat.

Cover the bowl with cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
