This is a great "light" appetizer that tastes wonderful, but will not make you feel like you've eaten a meal. They are easy to make and a joy to serve--try them at your next party! — Donna Bardocz, Howell, Michigan

30 10 40

Ingredients

2 green onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons minced fresh gingerroot
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 pound lean ground turkey
20 wonton wrappers
9 lettuce leaves
DIPPING SAUCE:
1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
1-1/2 teaspoons finely chopped green onion
1-1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 garlic clove, minced

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the onions, cornstarch, ginger, soy sauce and oil. Crumble turkey over mixture and mix well.
Place 1 tablespoon turkey mixture in the center of a wonton wrapper. (Keep remaining wrappers covered with a damp paper towel until ready to use.) Moisten edges with water. Fold one corner diagonally over filling and press edges to seal.

Combine sauce ingredients; serve with dumplings. Yield: 20 appetizers (1/3 cup sauce).
