Number Of Ingredients 11

1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1/2 lb ground turkey breast
1 cup chopped cabbage

I love that these firecrackers can be baked or fried. I usually bake them because it's healthier, but frying them gives them a crispy texture that is irresistible.

These firecrackers are a great way to use up leftover chicken or pork.

I've tried a few different recipes for Chinese firecrackers, but this one is by far the best. The firecrackers are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

I had some trouble getting the wonton wrappers to seal properly, but overall these firecrackers were still a success.
