1

Mix ground chicken and ground turkey together in a bowl until well combined.

Add water to the mixture to help the dumpling wrappers stick, or use a beaten egg instead.

Take a dumpling wrapper and place a spoonful of the filling in the center.

4

Seal the wrappers tightly, creating little folds all around the edges.

5

Heat oil in a large skillet until it coats the entire bottom evenly.

Arrange the potstickers in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.

7

Cook the potstickers until they turn golden brown and crisp, using tongs to turn them as needed.
