For the Hoisin Dipping Sauce:

1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp rice vinegar

250 g turkey, 1 cup napa cabbage, 2 medium spring onions, 1 clove garlic, 1 tsp ginger, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, ½ tsp salt, ¼ tsp white pepper
Place a gyoza wrapper in the palm of your hand. Add about 1 teaspoon of filling to the centre. Wet the edges of the wrapper with water, fold it in half, and pleat the edges to seal. Repeat until all wrappers are filled.
30 round gyoza wrappers, 1/3 cup water
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Arrange half the gyoza flat-side down in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown.
2 tbsp vegetable oil
Add 1/3 cup of water to the skillet and immediately cover with a lid. Steam for 3-4 minutes, or until the water has evaporated. Remove the lid and cook for an additional 1 minute to crisp the bottoms. Repeat with the remaining gyoza.
In a small bowl, mix the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar and sesame oil. Add chilli flakes or chilli oil for heat, if desired.
3 tbsp hoisin sauce, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp rice vinegar, ½ tsp sesame oil, 1 pinch chilli flakes
Arrange the Turkey Gyoza Dumplings on a plate and serve with the hoisin dipping sauce on the side.
