Worthy of a Special Occasion

Yield: 8 servings (serving size: 1 1/4 cups)

Ingredients

  • Won tons:
  • 4  ounces  ground turkey
  • 2  tablespoons  chopped green onions
  • 1  tablespoon  hoisin sauce
  • 2  teaspoons  low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2  garlic cloves, peeled
  • 16  won ton wrappers
  • 2  teaspoons  cornstarch

  • Soup:
  • 2  teaspoons  olive oil
  • 1/4  cup  diced carrot
  • 1/4  cup  chopped green onions
  • 3  cups  water
  • 2  tablespoons  rice vinegar
  • 1  teaspoon  minced peeled fresh ginger
  • 1/4  teaspoon  salt
  • 1/4  teaspoon  black pepper
  • 3  (16-ounce) cans fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
  • 2  cups  sliced spinach
  • 1  (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained

Preparation

To prepare won tons, place first 5 ingredients in a food processor. Process until well-combined, scraping the sides of bowl once. Working with 1 won ton wrapper at a time (cover the remaining wrappers with a damp towel to keep them from drying), spoon about 1 tablespoon turkey mixture into center of each wrapper. Moisten edges of dough with water; bring 2 opposite corners to center, pinching points to seal. Bring the remaining 2 corners to center, pinching points to seal. Pinch 4 edges together to seal. Place the dumplings on a large baking sheet sprinkled with cornstarch (cover with a damp towel to keep them from drying).

To prepare soup, heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until hot. Add carrot and 1/4 cup green onions, and sauté for 3 minutes or until tender. Add water and the next 5 ingredients (water through broth), and bring to a boil. Add won tons; reduce heat, and simmer for 6 minutes. Stir in spinach and tomatoes. Serve immediately.

I thought this was good. I did cut down on the ginger as I don't like too much, though next time I might try a bit more. Also, 1 tbsp is WAY too much filling to put in the wrapper, you only need about half of that. I LOVED the wontons, but don't know if I cared for having the tomatoes in the soup, though it did make it more hearty. I only used 3 cups of broth and 1 1/2 cups water so I would have 4 good sized servings with 4 wontons each, which made it about 200 calories/serving with my ingredients. Will try this again.01/19/07

This recipe was awesome! It had really a great flavor and was relatively simple and quick to make. After the wontons are made the soup takes only about 15 minutes. If you make the wontons the night before, it would be a great starter for dinner guests.05/18/05
