Recipe: Appetizing Turkey Broth Wonton Soup

Turkey Broth Wonton Soup. Wonton soup is a traditional Chinese soup that's made with broth, vegetables, and wontons (small steamed dumplings) that are usually filled with minced pork and/or shrimp—but some recipes also use ground turkey, chicken, and added vegetables. Turkey Wonton Soup is a delicious way to eat leaner and healthier, and a fantastic way to use up your leftover turkey carcass from Christmas or Thanksgiving. I love the easy way to make Turkey Broth from leftover turkey.

Pork and shrimp are far more common fillings for wontons than turkey, but substituting turkey for pork makes these dumplings leaner and healthier, without any great sacrifice in flavor. The trickiest part of this recipe is the folding of the wontons, but it is easy to get the hang of it in a couple of tries. Whenever we're ordering take-out, wonton soup is always a must.
