Steamed Turkey Dumplings
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 30 min. Cook: 10 min./batch
YIELD: 20 appetizers (1/3 cup sauce).
This is a great "lite" 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! Wonton wrappers are sold in the produce section. If wrappers are square, fold them into triangles. Or, cut them into three-inch rounds with a metal cookie cutter.
