Required Products:

  • Turkey meat - about one kilogram, but depends on how much you want to cook dumplings;

  • Salt, nutmeg and other seasonings;

  1. Wash the turkey meat, free it from fat, connecting tissues and films. Wait until it is dry.
  2. Cut the prepared meat into medium-sized cubes, put them on some surface, such as a tray or cutting board, and put in the refrigerator for about twenty minutes. This is done so that the pieces are slightly cooled and better turned into minced meat.
  3. Peel the onion and mince it with the meat.And this will have to be done twice, first through large holes, and then through small ones. A food processor in this embodiment is not very suitable. He will make the meat too small.
  4. Well salt the resulting mixture of turkey and onion, add other spices, chopped herbs and mix thoroughly until smooth. To do this, you can use a mixer with a flat nozzle, since it will not be easy to bring the stuffing to shine with your hand. If the minced meat turns out to be liquid, you can add a little starch to save the situation.
  5. The container in which the dish in question was kneaded should be covered with a film or bag and put in the refrigerator for thirty minutes.

Ham and cheese filling

An original recipe for cooking a familiar dish. Few people ate dumplings stuffed with ham and cheese. But this combination in itself is very tasty, so why not use it as a filling for dumplings?

Required Products:

  • A slice of hard cheese - about 200 grams;
  • Spices as desired.

Although the ham is indicated in the recipe, other products can also be used. For example, boiled sausage or bacon. It is better to take hard cheese, but if you cook from what is in the refrigerator, then it can be replaced with processed cheese.

  1. If you have hard cheese at hand, then it is rubbed on a coarse grater, but if it is processed cheese, it is better to cut them into small pieces, since when rubbed they will be smeared on the surface of the grater, which causes some inconvenience.
  2. Ham or sausage is cut into squares.
  3. The ingredients are mixed together. Most likely, salt is not worth it, as cheeses and sausages already include this component. But you can add a little black pepper, chopped herbs or crushed garlic for piquancy.
