Instructions

1. 1

   Bring the turkey stock, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine, 1 teaspoon grated ginger and 1 minced garlic clove to a boil and allow to simmer for about 20-30 minutes over low heat. This will give you time to prepare the wontons.

2. 2

   Place all the ground turkey, chopped shrimp, 1 tablespoon Shaoxing, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon finely grated ginger, 1-2 finely diced green onions and 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil into a bowl and mix together until evenly combined.

3. 3

   Put some water in a small bowl or glass. Using a wet finger, wet the edges around the wonton wrapper to ensure the wonton will stick and seal together when you pinch it.

4. 4

   Place the wonton wrapper in the palm of your hand. Put a teaspoon of the meat mixture in the middle of the wrapper. Bring 2 opposite corners together, making a triangle. Holding the top to the triangle with one hand, pinch together the gaps to completely seal the wonton. Firmly press the edges. Bring the bottom corners together, press together to seal.

5. 5

   Optional: you can add 1 cup of shredded bok choy to the soup and cook for 2 minutes.

6. 6

   Gently add the wontons to the simmering soup. Bring soup to a boil and cook the wontons for about 5 minutes, or until they're cooked and float to the top. Serve immediately and garnish with the sliced green onions
