Pot Stickers, Redneck Gourmet Style

Ok, I was vegetarian for quite awhile and came up with this originally as a vegetarian meal, but have found that turkey will work as well.

Ingredients

1 lb either vegetarian sausage or turkey sausage (ground turkey will work, but not as flavorful)
1 package of dumpling rounds or even won-ton wrappers (found in produce section near vegetarian food)
1-2 cloves garlic, minced
ginger, minced (equivalent to amount of garlic)
soy sauce (I just add enough for taste & color)
1 green onion, finely chopped
olive oil

Steps

1. Mince garlic and ginger.  Chop green onion

2.  Mix in a medium or large bowl garlic, ginger, sausage, and onion.  Add in soy sauce slowly.

3.  Using a small spoon (like you would eat cereal with... well what you would give a kid to eat cereal with lol), spoon a small amount into round or wrapper.  Seal with water.  You want to make sure there are no air bubbles in the dumpling and that it isn't too full.


4.  Continue the process until all the meat mixture is used.  Left over rounds or wrappers can be used to make home made raviolis.

5.  Bring a pot of water to bowl, place small amounts of the dumplings into the water.  Boil until the pasta part is done.

6.  Drain and place in a skillet hot skillet on medium heat with a little olive oil.  Lightly brown the dumplings.  

7.  Serve with your favorite dumpling sauce... They're perfectly fine with just soy sauce.
