   • If your wonton wrappers are square, fold them into triangles or use a cookie cutter to cut them into 3-inch rounds.

2. Mix the Filling:

   • In a mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, chopped scallions, minced ginger, light soy sauce, cornstarch, and vegetable oil. Mix well until thoroughly combined.

3. Assemble the Dumplings:

   • Place a teaspoonful of the turkey mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper.

4. Seal the Dumplings:

   • Brush the edges of the wonton wrapper with water to help seal them. Fold each wrapper over the filling to create a semi-circle, pressing the edges firmly to seal.

5. Prepare for Steaming:

   • Line a steamer basket with lettuce leaves to prevent the dumplings from sticking.

6. Steam the Dumplings:

   • Arrange the filled dumplings in the steamer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cover the steamer with a lid.

7. Steam:

   • Place the steamer over simmering water and steam the dumplings for about 30 minutes, or until the filling is cooked through and the wrappers are tender.

8. Serve:

   • Once cooked, carefully remove the steamer from the heat. Serve the steamed dumplings hot, accompanied by your favorite oriental dipping sauce.
