Tiny Turkish dumplings stuffed with spiced ground lamb, boiled until tender, then tossed with garlicky yogurt and topped with crispy butter and sumac. A weeknight version of the classic that skips the hand-rolling—use wonton wrappers instead.

Step 1
Mix ground lamb with diced onion, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until combined.
Step 2
Place 1 tsp filling in center of each wonton wrapper, wet edges with water, fold into triangle, then bring corners together to form a pouch.
Step 3
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil, add manti in batches, and cook until they float and bob for 2 minutes—about 8–10 minutes total.
Step 4
Whisk yogurt with minced garlic and a pinch of salt until smooth, spread over a serving platter.
Step 5
Drain manti and toss gently with melted butter (heat butter in the pot until foaming, add manti back in).
Step 6
Spoon manti over yogurt, drizzle any remaining butter on top, and finish with a sprinkle of sumac.
