CRANBERRY SAUCE SALSA



Cranberry Sauce Salsa image

Don't toss that little bit of cranberry sauce leftover from Thanksgiving dinner. This recipe, which we developed for a special kids' edition of The New York Times, calls for making it into a savory-sweet salsa that everyone will love. Just add some chopped fresh tomatoes, onion, garlic, cilantro and jalapeño to prepared whole cranberry sauce (not the jellied stuff). Stir in some lime zest and juice, and a sprinkling of chile powder, cumin and cayenne. Serve with enchilada pie or tortilla chips, and consider stocking canned cranberry sauce in your cabinet all year long.

Time 50m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 14

¾ cup lemon juice
1 cup dried cranberries
1 ½ cups shredded cooked turkey
1 cup prepared stuffing
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
¼ cup thick turkey gravy
1 (14 ounce) package wonton wrappers
salt to taste
3 cups canola oil for frying
2 tablespoons minced onion
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon seeded and minced jalapeno pepper - or to taste
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon water

Steps:

  • Pour the lemon juice over the dried cranberries in a bowl; set aside. Mix the turkey, stuffing, cream cheese, and turkey gravy in a separate bowl until thoroughly combined.
  • Place a wonton wrapper on a work surface; spoon about 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center of the wrapper. Moisten two opposite edges of the wrapper with a finger dipped in water, fold the wrapper in half the long way, and press the edges together with a fork. Sprinkle the wrapper with salt. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers.
