    Dim Sum Turkey Balls

    1 Strip dried tangerine peel - (about 2")

    = (or 2 TBL finely-chopped fresh

    Orange or tangerine peel)

    1 lb Ground turkey

    1/2 cup Finely-chopped water chestnuts

    1 tablespoon 0.5 fl oz (US) Chopped cilantro (Chinese parsley)

    2 tablespoons 1 fl oz (US) Chicken broth or water

    2 tablespoons 1 fl oz (US) Oyster sauce

    1 tablespoon 0.5 fl oz (US) Soy sauce

    2 teaspoons Sesame oil

    2 tablespoons 1 fl oz (US) Cornstarch

    For Serving

    1 Large bunch watercress - blanched

    Worcestershire sauce - for dipping

    = (or soy sauce mixed with prepared

    Chinese mustard to taste)

    Recipe Instructions

    If using dried tangerine peel, soak it in warm water to cover for 30 minutes; drain and mince. Combine all the ingredients except the watercress and dipping sauce in a medium bowl; mix well. With wet hands, shape the mixture into 20 meatballs, each approximately 1 1/2 inches in diameter.

    Place a steaming rack in a wok; add water to just below the level of the rack and bring it to a boil. Arrange the turkey balls in two greased 9-inch glass pie pans. Set one pan on the rack, cover, and steam until turkey is no longer pink (cut a small slit through a turkey ball to test), about 12 minutes. Serve the first portion while you steam the second. Place the watercress on a serving platter and arrange the turkey balls on top. Serve with Worcestershire sauce or the soy-mustard dip.

    This recipe yields 20 meatballs.

    Variation: Traditionally this dish is made with beef; you can also try it with finely chopped raw shrimp or minced chicken.

    Microwave Method: Instead of steaming the turkey balls, place them in a 9-inch microwave-safe glass pie pan, cover, and cook on high for 2 minutes. Stir, cover, and cook on medium until the turkey is no longer pink, about 4 minutes. Serve as above.

    OYSTER SAUCE RECIPE:

    3 tablespoons butter

    1/8 cup onions chopped

    8 ounces oysters

    1 1/2 cups oyster juice

    1/2 teaspoon thyme

    1/2 teaspoon oregano

    1/2 teaspoon basil

    1 each garlic clove

    2 tablespoons butter

    2 tablespoons flour, all-purpose

    1 cup cream heavy

    1 x salt and black pepper

    Directions

    Saute the green onions in butter until they're soft then add

    oysters, oyster water, thyme, oregano, basil and garlic.

    Stir gently.

    Make a roux from the butter and flour and add to the above

    mixture.

    Simmer this sauce for 5 minutes and then remove it from fire.

    Add the cream to the sauce and keep the mixture warm.

    Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    Turkey balls must be fairly small - won't they get lost in all that spinach and oyster sauce? The only Chinese ingredient here is oyster sauce.

    Sure. Although now it's over 600 million dollars. If a squirrel is willing to lay down some cash for some tickets, then the squirrel should have an equal shot at the jackpot. Fair is fair.
