Upgrade your wontons with a creamy turkey filling and tangy cranberry salsa for a delicious fusion of flavors.
Ingredients:
  • 0.75 cup lemon juice
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1.5 cups shredded cooked turkey
  • 1 cup prepared stuffing
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 0.25 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
Instructions:
  • Drizzle the lemon juice over the dried cranberries in a bowl and let it rest. Combine turkey, stuffing, cream cheese, and turkey gravy in a separate bowl until fully mixed.
  • Lay a wonton wrapper on a flat surface, add a generous tablespoon of filling in the middle. Moisten two edges with water using your finger, then fold the wrapper in half lengthwise and seal the edges with a fork. Finish with a sprinkle of salt. Repeat with the rest of the filling and wrappers.
  • In a large, deep skillet over medium heat, heat the canola oil. Pan-fry the filled wontons in batches until they are crisp and golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Drain the fried wontons on paper towels and let them cool for about 5 minutes to set the filling.
  • Separate the lemon juice from the dried cranberries. Pulse cranberries in a food processor until finely chopped. Combine with onion, lime juice, jalapeno pepper, garlic, and water in a bowl. Serve with hot fried wontons.
