Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 cup finely chopped onions
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 1/4 cup chopped mint
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, onions, garlic, olive oil, parsley, mint, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour, warm water, and salt to make a dough. Knead the dough for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Let it rest for 15 minutes.
- Divide the dough into small portions and roll each portion into a thin circle.
- Place a spoonful of the turkey mixture in the center of each circle and fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape. Press the edges together firmly to seal the dumplings.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently drop the dumplings into the boiling water and cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until they float to the top.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the cooked dumplings from the water and transfer them to a serving dish.
- Serve the turkey dumplings hot with a side of yogurt or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
