For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of dried herbs like thyme or sage to the turkey filling. Adjust the amount of jalapeno in the cranberry salsa to control the level of spiciness. Wonton wrappers can dry out quickly, so keep them covered with a damp cloth while you're working. These wontons are best served fresh, but can be reheated in a preheated oven or air fryer for optimal crispness.

Follow The Directions
01
StepCranberry Infusion: In a bowl, pour lemon juice over dried cranberries; let them plump and absorb the citrusy goodness. (15 minutes)
02
StepSavory Filling Creation: In a separate bowl, combine shredded turkey, prepared stuffing, softened cream cheese, and turkey gravy. Mix thoroughly until a cohesive filling forms.
03
StepWonton Assembly Line: Lay a wonton wrapper on a clean work surface. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the turkey filling into the center. Moisten two opposite edges of the wrapper with a dab of water. Fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle or rectangle, pressing the edges firmly together with a fork to seal. Season the wrapper with a light sprinkle of salt. Repeat until all filling is used.
04
StepGolden-Fried Perfection: Heat canola oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat until it reaches approximately 350°F (175°C). Carefully pan-fry the filled wontons in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan, until they are crisp and golden brown on both sides. (2-3 minutes per side)
05
StepCooling period: Drain the fried wontons on paper towels to remove excess oil. Allow them to cool slightly for about 5 minutes, which helps the filling set before serving.
06
StepCranberry Salsa Symphony: Drain the lemon juice from the infused cranberries. Transfer the cranberries to a food processor and pulse several times until finely chopped but not pureed. Transfer the chopped cranberries to a bowl and mix in the minced onion, lime juice, minced jalapeno pepper (adjust to your spice preference), minced garlic, and water.
07
StepServe and Enjoy: Serve the hot, crispy wontons immediately with a generous dollop of the vibrant cranberry salsa.
