Has anyone made the Wonton Purses? Are they ever cute! But I have a question. I forgot that I had the turkey sausage in the fridge for that recipe and used it for something else. I wanted to try the recipe b/f a party Friday and decided to use deli turkey instead just to get how the recipe went, which turned out OK. My question is, has anyone made them using the raw turkey sausage? I'm a little nervous about that meat cooking enough. I know the recipe says to check the temp, but I just wanted to see if anyone had any experience with them.

TIA,
Sandi
 
I'm pretty sure the recipe calls for ground turkey, not turkey sausage. :) It's in a package like ground beef. I usually buy Foster Farms brand.
I made them a few weeks ago & they are soo yummy! They fully cook when you steam them, so don't worry about the raw turkey. And use your digital thermometer to check one of them ... tonight I made a version that was really good - chicken (cooked - I cooked some tenders in the DCB with asian seasoning), spinach, carrots, garlic & broccoli ... YUMMO! I made the dipping sauce too - LOVE IT!!
 
I made these for 7 shows in December and they were a HUGE hit!

Yes, it's ground turkey - not turkey sausage that the recipe calls for. I never had any problem with the meat not being fully cooked. The only problem I had was making them quick enough because everyone was scarfing them down! This is a great recipe to get everyone involved in the process. They don't mind helping make them, because the faster they make them, the faster they can eat them!

I don't bother with the sauce recipe that comes with them though. I use the Ginger Wasabi Sauce and Thai Peanut Sauce as dipping sauces for them - sold a TON of those too!:thumbup:
 
These are yummy!! Check the internal temp of the meat with the thermometer; that's what it's for. And I agree with Becky, just use the 2 dipping sauces instead of making the one that's with the recipe. They look great on a bamboo platter with sauce in 2 of the bamboo snack bowls - so professional!

Frequently Asked Questions

What are wonton purses and how do they relate to raw turkey sausage?

Wonton purses are a type of appetizer made by wrapping filling, such as raw turkey sausage, in wonton wrappers. The wrappers are then baked or fried until crispy. Using raw turkey sausage adds a flavorful and lean protein option to the filling, making them a healthier choice for entertaining or snacking.

How do I prepare the raw turkey sausage for wonton purses?

To prepare raw turkey sausage for wonton purses, start by removing the sausage from its casing if necessary. Then, cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until it is browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula. Once cooked, you can mix it with other ingredients like vegetables, cheese, or seasonings before filling the wonton wrappers.

Can I use pre-cooked turkey sausage instead of raw?

Yes, you can use pre-cooked turkey sausage for wonton purses. Just chop or crumble the sausage into small pieces and mix it with your desired ingredients. Keep in mind that pre-cooked sausage may require less cooking time, so adjust your baking or frying time accordingly to avoid overcooking the wonton purses.

What are some tips for wrapping wonton purses with raw turkey sausage?

When wrapping wonton purses, place a small amount of the turkey sausage filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water to help seal it. Fold the wrapper over the filling to create a triangle or purse shape, pressing the edges firmly to seal. Ensure there are no air pockets to prevent the purses from bursting during cooking.

How can I enhance the flavor of wonton purses made with raw turkey sausage?

To enhance the flavor of your wonton purses, consider adding spices and herbs to the raw turkey sausage mixture, such as garlic, onion powder, Italian seasoning, or fresh herbs like parsley or basil.
