Title: Jerky Dumplings

Ingredients:
– 1 cup finely chopped jerky (beef or turkey)
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup warm water
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Slowly add the warm water while mixing with a wooden spoon until a dough begins to form.
2. Transfer the dough to a clean, floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, finely chop your favorite jerky into small pieces. You can use beef or turkey jerky for this recipe, depending on your preference.
4. Once the dough has rested, divide it into small equal-sized balls. Roll out each ball into a thin circle, about 3 inches in diameter.
5. Spoon a generous amount of the chopped jerky onto the center of each dough circle, being careful not to overfill.
6. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-circle shape. Pinch the edges together to seal the dumpling.
7. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the dumplings in the skillet, seam side down.
8. Cook the dumplings for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
9. Remove the dumplings from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess oil.
10. Serve the Jerky Dumplings hot, garnished with your favorite dipping sauce or a sprinkle of chopped green onions. Enjoy the savory and satisfying flavors!
