Ground Turkey144.9 g
Whole Wheat Dough (prepared)85.7 g
Whole Milk Greek Yogurt137.9 g
Spinach, fresh57.1 g
Olive Oil9.3 g
Honey (for yogurt balance)14.2 g

Instructions

1

Prepare the filling by sautéing the ground turkey with a pinch of seven-spice until browned and fragrant. Let it cool.

2

Roll out the dough thinly and cut into 2-inch rounds. Place a small amount of meat in the center, fold into a half-moon, and pinch the ends together to form the signature 'tortellini' shape.

3

Poach the dumplings in simmering salted water for 5-6 minutes until they float and the dough is tender.

4

In a separate saucepan, whisk the Greek yogurt with a splash of water and a touch of honey over low heat; do not boil, or the yogurt will break. Stir in fresh minced garlic, chopped fresh mint, and cilantro.

5

Gently fold the poached dumplings into the warm yogurt sauce.

6

In a small pan, sizzle minced garlic and extra mint in the olive oil until fragrant, then pour this 'tasha' (gremolata) over the finished bowls.

7

Serve immediately, garnished with fresh spinach leaves and a final sprinkle of sumac for acidity.
