Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, chopped green onions, shredded cabbage, pressed garlic, sesame oil, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the filling is moist and uniform.
  2. Take a wonton wrapper and place a small spoonful of the filling in the center. Moisten the edges with water, fold in half, and press the edges to seal. Repeat until all wrappers are filled.
  3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add gyoza in a single layer and fry until golden brown on the bottom, about 3 minutes.
  4. Add water to the skillet, cover with a lid, and reduce heat to medium. Steam for 3-4 minutes until the wrappers are translucent and filling is cooked through.
  5. Transfer gyoza to a serving plate. Enjoy warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
