Perfect for meal prep, quick dinners, or nutritious appetizers, these homemade turkey potstickers deliver bold flavor while supporting your high-protein lifestyle.
Can I make potstickers ahead of time?
Yes! Assemble the potstickers and store them uncooked in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours or freeze them for up to 3 months.
How do I keep potstickers from sticking to the pan?
Use a nonstick skillet, add enough oil, and avoid moving the potstickers until the bottoms are golden brown and crisp.
Can I freeze homemade potstickers?
Absolutely. Place uncooked potstickers in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container.
Do I need to thaw frozen potstickers before cooking?
No, you don’t have to! Cook frozen potstickers directly from the freezer, adding an extra few minutes to the cooking time.
How do I know when potstickers are fully cooked?
The wrappers should be tender, and the filling should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) when using turkey or chicken.
What dipping sauce goes best with potstickers?
A simple mixture of soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and chili flakes pairs perfectly with homemade potstickers.
Can I use ground chicken instead of turkey?
Yes, ground chicken works well and can be substituted in equal amounts.
Why are my potsticker wrappers tearing?
Wrappers may tear if overfilled or if the edges become too dry. Keep wrappers covered with a damp towel while assembling.
Can I air fry potstickers?
Yes. Lightly spray them with oil and air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through.

(High Protein) Soy Scallion Turkey Potstickers
Ingredients
For the Homemade Dumpling Wrappers:
- 2 1/2 cups All Purpose Flour
- 1 cup Hot Water
- 2 tbsp. Olive Oil
- 1 tsp. Salt
For the Filling:
- 1 lb. JENNIE-O® Lean Ground Turkey
- 2 tbsp. Soy Sauce
- 1 tbsp. Sesame Oil
- 1 tbsp. Oyster Sauce
- 1 tbsp. Light Brown Sugar or honey
- 1 tbsp. Fresh Ginger grated
- 1 tbsp. Garlic minced about 3 cloves
- 1 tsp. Salt
- 1/2 cup Vegetable Stock
- 5 Spring Onions finely chopped
To Cook/Serve:
- Olive Oil
- Scallions
- Chili Crisp Oil
- Soy Sauce
Instructions
For the Homemade Dumpling Wrappers:
- Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Mix well.
- Add the olive oil and gradually pour in the hot water, mixing until a shaggy dough. Turn out the dough to a clean surface and knead until a smooth and pliable dough, about 2-3 minutes.
- TIP: If the dough is too sticky, add a few tablespoons of flour. If the dough is too firm, add a few teaspoons of warm water.
- Cover and let rest 20 minutes.
For the Filling:
- Combine all ingredients except the vegetable stock in a large mix. Mix until very well combined.
- Add half of the vegetable stock and mix until the beef has absorbed the liquid. Continue to gradually add the vegetable stock as you mix, until a loose but not runny mixture. Set aside.
To Assemble:
- Divide the dumpling dough into two pieces. Roll out each piece into 1.5″ thick logs. Slice each log into 1″ pieces. Roll each piece in the palms of your hands to help shape into a ball.
- Roll out into circular shapes on a very floured surface to 1/16″ thick, about the thickness of a penny.
- Add one tablespoon of the filling in the center of each wrapper.
- Fold up the two sides like a half-moon shape. Make pleats along one edge of the wrapper. Pinch the very tops to seal together.
To Cook:
- Add a generous drizzle of olive oil to a skillet over medium heat. Once heated for a minute, add a single layer of potstickers with 1″ space in-between. Cook until crispy and golden on bottom, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add 1/3 cup water and immediately cover the skillet to steam for 5 minutes. Remove the cover to continue cooking until any remaining water has evaporated.
- If needed, use a spatula to help remove any potstickers from the skillet.
- Enjoy warm with chopped scallions, soy sauce, and chili crisp oil.
