Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/4 cups finely chopped cooked turkey
2/3 cup leftover stuffing
1/3 cup whipped cream cheese
1 (14-ounce) can whole berry cranberry sauce or about 1 1/3 cups leftover cranberry sauce
24 wonton wrappers
1 tablespooon lime juice
1/2 jalapeno, (finely diced)
vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, mix together turkey, stuffing, cream cheese, and 3 tablespoons cranberry sauce.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the remaining cranberry sauce with the lime juice and jalapeno. Refrigerate until needed.
  • Place 1 tablespoon of turkey filling in center of each wonton wrapper. Keep remaining wrappers covered with a damp paper towel so they don't dry out. Moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper with water. Fold wrapper over the filling to form a triangle and press edges to seal. Repeat.
  • Pour about 1 to 2 inches of oil in a Dutch oven. Heat oil to 375 degrees. Before you drop the wontons in the oil, check to make sure edges are completely sealed. Fry wontons 4 at a time until golden brown on both sides. This will only take 30 to 60 seconds per side.
  • Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve with cranberry salsa.

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 c cooked and shredded turkey
1 c prepared stuffing
4 oz cream cheese (room temperature)
4 T thick prepared gravy
1 14 oz package won ton wrappers
1 T water
3 c canola, vegetable, or peanut oil (I prefer peanut oil)
all purpose seasoning, to taste (I use Chef Nikki's Pro Seasoning)
1 c cranberry sauce (not jelly)
6 T minced onions
1 t minced jalapeno, to desird heat (optional)
2 t minced garlic

Steps:

  • To prepare, heat oil over medium high heat in a large deep skillet, or use a turkey fryer. In a small serving dish, mix cranberry sauce, onions, jalapeno peppers to desired heat (optional), and garlic.
  • Mix turkey, stuffing, cream cheese, and gravy in a medium bowl.
  • Place about 1 T of the mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper and add in a dash of seasoning to taste. I used Chef Nikki's Pro Seasoning. Wet edges of each wrapper lightly with water, layer another wonton wrapper over the first, and press the edges with a fork to seal.
  • Place a single layer of won tons in the skillet or fryer. Heat for about 3-5 minutes, until lightly golden brown, flipping once halfway through. Remove with a large spatula onto plate covered with paper towels. Repeat for remaining won tons.
  • Let sit for a few minutes and serve while warm with a side of cranberry salsa.
