Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, finely chopped green onions, shredded cabbage, and minced garlic. Drizzle in sesame oil and soy sauce, then season generously with salt and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  2. Take a wonton wrapper and place about a tablespoon of the turkey filling in the center. Dampen the edges of the wrapper with water. Fold the wrapper in half over the filling and pinch the edges to seal tightly. Repeat until all filling is used.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add enough oil to coat the bottom. Once shimmering, place the gyoza in the pan, ensuring they are spaced apart. Pan-fry for about 3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.
  4. Carefully add 1/4 cup of water to the pan and immediately cover with a lid. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the wrappers are translucent and the filling is no longer pink.
  5. Remove the gyoza from the skillet and transfer to a serving plate. Pair with a dipping sauce of your choice and enjoy!
