Homemade turkey dumplings

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make turkey dumplings? Prepare the ingredients needed to make the dough. Let's start working with him, so that when the dough is under the film, do not waste time and do the filling for dumplings. It is also worth noting that since the flour is different (I used the highest grade), it also absorbs water in different ways. This means that you may take more or less flour or water, so focus on the consistency of the dough

2. Step 2:

   

   Sift the flour into a deep container, add salt, mix the dry ingredients. Make a recess in the middle of the flour and, pouring boiling water into it, knead the dough with a spoon. Then continue to knead the dough, but with your hands. When the dough comes together in one lump, transfer it to the work surface and knead the dumpling dough for another 7 minutes. Next, put the dough back in the same container, which is covered with cling film. Leave the dough alone for 30 minutes.

3. Step 3:

   

   Now prepare the filling for the dumplings. To do this, wash the turkey, dry it with paper towels.

4. Step 4:

   

   Now cut it into pieces, it can be large, just so that these pieces fit into the meat grinder.

6. Step 5:

   

   Peel the onion and cut into medium pieces. Pass the sliced turkey and onion through a meat grinder. Add salt and ground black pepper to the minced meat. If you want the dumplings to be juicy, then add a little water to the minced meat, about a spoonful. Knead the minced meat so as to obtain a homogeneous mass.

7. Step 6:

   

   Now you can go back to the test. Divide the dough into several parts. Take one part for work, leave the rest under the film so that the dough does not dry. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin thinly. Using, for example, a glass, squeeze out circles in the dough. Put turkey minced meat on each circle in the center.

8. Step 7:

   

   Now make dumplings. To do this, the edges of the circle around the perimeter of the dumpling can be moistened with water so that they are well molded. Next, fold the circle in half, make pinches, then connect the two ends, securing them well. In this way, stick all the dumplings.

9. Step 8:

   

   Ready-made dumplings can be boiled immediately. In this case, bring the water to a boil, salt it, put a bay leaf and put the dumplings in it. After they rise to the surface of the water, cook them for another 3-6 minutes (depends on the size of the dumplings). Alternatively, the dumplings can be frozen and boiled if necessary. You can store them in a regular plastic bag.
