Thanksgiving Wontons


3/4 C. lemon juice 1 C. craisins
1 1/2 C. leftover turkey 1 C. prepared stuffing 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 C. gravy 1 pkg wonton wrappers3 C. canola oil for frying
2 Tb. minced onion1 Tb. lime juice 1 tsp. minced jalapenos
1 tsp. minced garlic1 tsp. watersalt to taste

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.
