Sunday Green Dumplings

I had a craving for dumplings today and decided to make some - usually chinese dumplings are made with ground pork meat (more fatty). Decided to use ground turkey instead though.. not too bad of a substitute. Mixed the ground meat with ground garlic and ginger, salt, chives and thyme.. then added my own special ingredient to it (non-chinese) - grated chayotte. The chayotte provides lots of moisture and mushy feeling to the dumplings. Perfect compliment in any dumpling I personally think. I steamed half of it and fried half of it.
