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.

Thanksgiving Leftover Wontons with Cranberry Salsa image

I made this the day after Christmas to use up the leftovers in my fridge and the in-laws LOVED it. It takes a bit of prep time, but it's quite easy. You may even want to try a little cilantro in the cranberry salsa.

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.
  • Heat the canola oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat; pan-fry the filled wontons in batches until crisp and golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Drain the fried wontons on paper towels; allow to cool for about 5 minutes to set the filling.
  • Drain the lemon juice from the dried cranberries. Place cranberries into a food processor; pulse several times until the cranberries are finely chopped. Transfer to a bowl and mix in the onion, lime juice, jalapeno pepper, garlic, and water. Serve with the hot fried wontons.
