Leftover Thanksgiving Wontons & Cranberry Dipping Sauce
- 10 oz. leftover turkey, shredded and roughly chopped
- ¾ c. leftover cooked chicken stuffing
- Add (8-oz.) cream cheese, softened
- Add green onion, thinly sliced; divided
- Add (14-oz.) jellied cranberry sauce
- 2 tbsp. original pancake syrup
- 2 tbsp. packed light brown sugar
- 30 wonton wrappers
- vegetable oil, for frying
Mix turkey,
stuffing, cream cheese and 2 tablespoons green onion in a medium bowl until
combined; set aside.
In a small
saucepan, heat cranberry sauce, syrup and brown sugar over medium-high heat,
stirring occasionally until melted and thoroughly combined. Remove from heat; set
aside.
Using a
1-tablespoon measure, scoop turkey filling and drag the spoon up the side of
the mixing bowl to create a level scoop. Place filling in the center of a
wonton wrapper. Moisten edges of wrapper with water. Fold wrapper in half over
filling to form a triangle. Press edges to seal. Repeat to fill remaining
wrappers with turkey mixture.
Pour 1 to 2
inches of oil into a large heavy saucepan or Dutch oven. Heat oil over
medium-high heat to 375 degrees. Fry wontons, in several batches, for 3 to 4
minutes or until golden brown, turning halfway through. Drain on paper towels.
Garnish with remaining green onion. Serve with cranberry dipping sauce.
