Holiday Wontons
Having OD'd on turkey sandwiches post-Thanksgiving, we decided to try something a bit different with our Holiday leftovers.
In celebration of TGI Fryday, we decided to cook up a batch of Holiday wontons made up of leftover stuffing, turkey and cranberries. The great thing about these is the versatility of them (recipe follows below).
Available in the refrigerated section of most Asian and specialty markets, fresh pre-made wontons wrappers can be filled with virtually any combination of ingredients -- from a savory Reuben wonton comprised of chopped corned beef, sauerkraut and swiss cheese to a sweet chocolate and marshmallow "S'more" wonton.
Accompanying the Holiday wontons was a side of Tribal Moose Cranberry Barbecue Sauce (available here), one of several amazing cranberry based sauces the company produces (including an AMAZING cranberry ketchup which is awesome of meatloaf sandwiches and a host of other dishes).
HOLIDAY WONTONS
One package refrigerated fresh wonton wrappers
1 cup finely chopped leftover turkey meat
1 cup leftover stuffing
1/4 leftover gravy
1/4 leftover cranberry sauce (optional)
1 egg
1 tbsp water
Mix turkey, stuffing, gravy and cranberry sauce thoroughly in a large mixing bowl to create the wonton stuffing mixture. Add more gravy if necessary to ensure mixture is moist. In a separate small bowl, beat egg and add water to create an egg wash.
Heat oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 375 degrees. Layout wonton wrappers on a clean, dry surface and add one rounded teaspoon of the turkey mixture to the center of each wrapper. Brush all four edges of the wrapper with the egg wash and fold wrapper over corner to corner to create a triangle. Gently press the edges together to create a tight seam and set aside until ready to fry.
Working in batches, fry wontons for 2-3 minutes until golden brown then remove and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with warmed Tribal Moose Cranberry BBQ Sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
