Recipe: Tasty Turkey Broth Wonton Soup

Turkey Broth Wonton Soup. This recipe is a bit of a departure from the usual Chinese wonton. 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.

This is a recipe I've always done with chicken broth. Usually I use premade broth from the store which will cut down on the time significantly.

Trust me it makes a difference in the soup it's self. I tried this recipe last night for the wonton broth and it was wonderful.. Yes, you can certainly substitute chicken, but it would be best if it was ground chicken (or ground turkey). Add the chopped turkey to the strained broth; bring the to a boil, reduce heat, and stir in the potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, cabbage, tomatoes, barley, Worcestershire sauce, salt, parsley, basil, bay leaf, black pepper, paprika, poultry seasoning, and thyme. This Wonton Soup is easy (I have a shortcut!) light, hearty and comforting bursting with the most flavorful, juicy wontons you have to taste to believe.
