These Turkey Potstickers are one my favorite Asian appetizers to eat and they can be made in the air fryer, a skillet, or an oven. For dipping, I like to use Sweet Chili Sauce, sweet and sour, or soy sauce.
There's a Chinese restaurant a couple of blocks down the street from where I live. They have pretty awesome pork potstickers and today I thought I'd try making them. Every now and then, I will try something I've never made before like these dumplings. I've always liked potstickers. Whenever I go to Trader Joe's, I'd pick up a bag of them in their freezer section. They are so good just heated up with some of their Miso broth as a soup. So, I decided to learn how to make them myself.

Ingredients Needed
- 2 cups of chopped cabbage
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 2 tablespoon thinly sliced green onion
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 2 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar or rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon of ground ginger or fresh ginger
- ⅛ teaspoon of chili pepper flakes.
- 1 small fresh serrano chile pepper (optional)
- 8 oz of 99% ff turkey breast
- 28 to 30 wonton wrappers or dumpling wrappers such as gyozo
Dipping Sauce
Use chili oil, low-sodium soy sauce, or make your own dipping sauces for the pot stickers.
Making Potstickers From Scratch
Potstickers are pretty time to consuming to make. While making these, I pictured myself working at a Chinese restaurant for a couple of hours during the daytime making potstickers. It's almost kind of relaxing to sit there and make them and I'm pretty sure the restaurant down the street from me, must prep quite a few of them ahead of time for the day. They took me about a good 2 hours to make. This recipe makes a lot of potstickers.
There are two different techniques you have to get down before becoming an expert at potsticker making. One is the filling method. You can't stuff potstickers with too much filling or else you won't' be able to close the dough. I started off with trying a tablespoon of the meat mixture but that was too much, so I went down to a little over a teaspoon. That seemed to be just the right amount.
Air Fryer Settings
Place the dumplings in an even single layer in the air fryer basket. Spray them with cooking spray or olive oil spray. Set the timer for 6 to 8 minutes at 400 degrees.

Hi There
I've just discovered your recipes. They look fantastic. I would like to try the turkey Potstickers. I have 1 question...do you cook the ground turkey first? I have a feeling the turkey might not cook through in such a short time.
