Years in the past, the day after Thanksgiving, I used to be roaming across the kitchen, bored and hungry. I felt the necessity to give you an ingenious method to make use of up our Thanksgiving leftovers, past soup or a sandwich. I occur to have wonton wrappers in my fridge, so I made a decision to get artistic.
With crab rangoon in thoughts, I added somewhat cream cheese, shredded turkey, stuffing, and gravy right into a mixing bowl, spooned the combination into wonton wrappers and fried all of it in a skillet, served with a facet of cranberry salsa. My husband now makes positive I’m totally prepped, choosing up wonton wrappers on the retailer each Thanksgiving Eve in order that there are not any excuses to not make these.
You may be versatile with this recipe. In truth, I actually don’t measure something, and the Thanksgiving leftover recipe components are interchangeable. Simply toss in no matter sounds good to you and fry it up. You may even range the components within the cranberry salsa. I begin with cranberry sauce, not the jelly, and toss in chopped yellow onion, minced garlic, and a diced jalapeño for somewhat kick.
This yr, I used to be capable of make a few very worthy adjustments. Normally, I fry these up in a deep iron skillet, however this yr, since we made a fried turkey, I used to be in a position to make use of the deep fryer with the seasoned peanut oil from yesterday’s turkey. One other change, earlier than sealing the wontons, I tossed in a touch of Chef Nikki’s Professional Seasoning. I at all times thought these wontons have been nice earlier than, however that addition of Professional Seasoning made all of the distinction!
