Thanksgiving Wontons with Cranberry Salsa

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Thanksgiving Wontons with Cranberry Salsa.

1. Step 1

   In a bowl, pour the lemon juice over the dried cranberries and set aside to soak.

2. Step 2

   In another bowl, combine the shredded turkey, prepared stuffing, softened cream cheese, and turkey gravy. Mix until well blended.

3. Step 3

   Take a wonton wrapper and place it on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the turkey mixture into the center of the wrapper.

4. Step 4

   Moisten two opposite edges of the wrapper with a finger dipped in water. Fold the wrapper in half lengthwise and press the edges together with a fork to seal. Sprinkle a little salt on top. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.

5. Step 5

   In a large, deep skillet, heat the canola oil over medium heat. Fry the filled wontons in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2 minutes per side. Once cooked, drain the wontons on paper towels and let them cool for about 5 minutes to set the filling.

6. Step 6

   Drain the lemon juice from the cranberries. Place the cranberries in a food processor and pulse several times until finely chopped. Transfer to a bowl and mix in the minced onion, lime juice, jalapeno pepper, minced garlic, and water to create the salsa.

7. Step 7

   Serve the hot fried wontons with the cranberry salsa on the side.
