I used 8oz of Lean ground beef instead of turkey and added some garlic powder and onion salt to the meat mixture, this only yielded 22 wontons but they were 263 calories for a serving of 6 each. The flavor was good, they remind me of empanadas! I will definitely be making these again!! - 12/4/09

Yummo! I made these today and i will definitely be making again. I have never cooked with wontons before so I was kind of nervous but it was very easy! The edges of the wontons got crispy when baked and it was almost like having chips! I did add chopped onions to the turkey when browning it up! - 11/23/08
