Heads Up! - Pot stickers are usually served with their browned bottoms up. Before turning them out on a platter make sure you've cooked the pot stickers all the way through. And if you've plated them and think they still need a few more minutes of cooking, there is a simple solution. Just microwave them."

Here's How to Make It in 20 Minutes:
Step 1: make the asian turkey pot stickers
1/2 cup chopped scallions
2 tablespoons chopped pickled ginger or grated fresh gingerroot
1 1/4 pounds lean ground turkey
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
24 square wonton wrappers, each 3 inches (in refrigerated Asian foods section of supermarket)
3 tablespoons canola oil
3/4 cup fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
1. Finely chop enough scallions to measure 1/2 cup. Chop enough pickled or fresh ginger to measure 2 or 3 tablespoons.
2. In a large bowl, combine the turkey, scallions, 2 tablespoons of the ginger, Worcestershire sauce, and sesame oil, tossing to mix.
3. Lay 12 dumpling skins on the counter. Place a heaping tablespoon of the turkey filling in the middle of each skin. Bring the sides of the skins up and press to make them hold on the sides, then slightly down, forming a flat bottom. (Filling will show at the top.) Repeat with the remaining 11 skins.
4. Heat a heavy 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. As it heats, finish making dumplings with the remaining filling and 12 dumpling skins.
5. Add the canola oil to the hot skillet and heat until hot. Add the dumplings (crowding them in is fine) and saute[as] until the bottoms brown, about 1 minute. Add the chicken broth and cover the pan. Lower the heat and steam the dumplings until the liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes.
Step 2: while the dumplings cook, combine the sesame dipping sauce
1/4 cup lite soy sauce
3 tablespoons rice vinegar or lemon juice
1 tablespoon maple syrup or brown sugar
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Stir all the ingredients together in a small serving bowl. Place the bowl, with a small ladle or serving spoon, on the table.
Step 3: make the grated carrot salad
1 bag (16 ounces) grated carrots
4 to 6 tablespoons golden or dark raisins
Vinaigrette dressing, store-bought or homemade
Place the carrots, raisins, and dressing in a salad bowl and toss to coat. Place the bowl on the table.
Step 4: serve
1. Turn the dumplings out onto a platter and serve at once, with the sesame dipping sauce as an accompaniment.
2. When ready for dessert, divide the chilled apricot halves among dessert bowls and crumble macaroons over each serving. Serve with additional macaroons, if desired.
